NEPTUNE DAY


NEPTUNE DAY, LOCATION: 0 LONGITUDE, 0 LATITUDE!
This morning was pretty exciting with the Neptune day ceremony. As ‘polywogs’, people who have never crossed the equator by boat, I had to be initiated. This process included having some sort of fish substance dumped on our heads, and then we jumped into the pool. After that we had to kiss a fish, and be knighted by the dean. It was all pretty funny, all the teachers were dressed up for it, and everyone was out on the pool deck. After all that fun the head shaving began!! There were probably 10 girls who shaved their entire head. It looks funny now, but it won't be funny in a year when you still have a boy hair cut that you can't get rid of! A couple people did mohawks and stuff, but those would be just as bad! So now there are tons of bald people on the ship. A ton of dudes did it and some have really gross looking heads. Some have mad moles and some have gross scars. I went down to have some lunch and when miss and i went back to the pool deck to get a drink there was a whole lot of hair everywhere. It was naaaasty. I think i'm just laying low today and chilling out, later i need to read and stuff though. Its going to be a tough 6 days of classes before south Africa!
