Location: 2066 nautical miles from Halifax, 602 to go until Spain

Its Thursday afternoon on the ship and I've just eaten lunch and finished classes for the day. this morning I had Global Studies and History of Jazz, both of which are slightly entertaining. The jazz professor especially, its fun to watch him get really into the music sames he play. He closes his eyes and bobs his head to every beat, occasionally adding in some air piano, drums, or saxophone. Classes so far haven't been too bad, a lot of reading though, and a 2000 word essay due tomorrow for the comparative history of women. ugh. Today I'm scheduled for a bridge tour at 1630 which should be cool to see how and where everything is operating from. I have most of my plans set for Spain. On the first night (Saturday) I found a bunch of girls that I'll be staying at a hostel with in Cadiz. Turns out they ran out of beds, so our whole group will be on the roof top sleeping in hammocks! Sunday morning we will either take a train or bus to sevilla where we will spend two nights at a hostel there (with the same group of girls.)

Finally everyone is adjusting to the rocking of the ship, I really don't even feel it anymore unless I concentrate on it. Also, everyone has found their sea legs and can (almost) walk in straight lines down the hall.

Tuesday night, there was a dance as well as pub night which had a mash-up theme. There we're quite some interesting out fits thrown together. The goal was to look at crazy and mixed up as possible, and many many people accomplished that. On that night everyone came to the bar and the line for drinks wrapped all the way around the pool. Because of the 3 drink limit, everyone ended up getting a drink and then getting back in line to drink it while waiting to get another drink.

I tried working out the other day which was interesting. I chose the elliptical which was my best bet of a machine I wouldn't fall off of. it was nice looking out the window at the sea and watching the rocking of the ship. You could definitely feel the movement though, as some times you we're falling forward, and sometimes you were falling back, trying to hold onto the handles to not get tossed off.

Everything else has been really good. Foods decent, people are nice, and the weather is great (some days). On the sunny days its impossible to find a chair on the pool deck cause everyone is in their swim suits, half reading for class, and half relaxing in the sun.

Anyway, I'll have more to write about once we finally arrive on dry land, and some pics to put up too.

Until next time, peace out.
