It's a slow day

Hello, world. Today has been relatively slow. Getting back into the swing of classes again. There is so much to read for every class. I'm drowning in it! But at least the majority of it is interesting, particularly Hot, Flat and Crowded. I think you should read it. I've only gotten through about the first two and a half chapters so far, but I am really enjoying it.

I feel like I am tired all the time. the rocking of the boat kind of puts me to sleep, and we have been losing an hour every night. every night we have to set our clocks an hour forward. This is why I keep going to straight to my cabin for naptime after Global Studies. even though I try to read stuff, it just doesn't happen.

I've signed up for a few more SaS trips, so when I'm in port I'll definitely have plenty to do. Though I do have a few days open for independent travel/exploring. I think I might take a train to another city while we're in Barcelona, but I haven't decided where to yet. Also I want to do something in Italy, I really really want to go to Venice, but that's so far north from Rome, I don't know if I'll be able to.. especially if I can't find someone to go with me. So I might end up doing something else, though I have no earthly idea what that might be.

I've been getting emails in from all the activities I signed up for. :) There is a meeting tomorrow night for us to plan our Mediterranean Sea olympics, and there is also mass going on tomorrow night and I would like to try to make that. There was a big game night tonight in the Garden lounge - one of the dining rooms on deck 6. I taught some people how to play Nertz, but they were kind of blah about it and I got sad because that game is super awesome! they played it once and didn't even give it another chance :(

oh, I went to the on-ship campus store today and bought a really pretty SaS t-shirt, and also an orange bandana so I can be all spirity for our Sea, because our colour is orange. Either tomorrow or the next day we are all going to put some orange facepaint on and represent! I'm kind of excited, whatwhat! I also bought a water bottle thing that is by camel-pak and is reusable and all that jazz. and it's also orange, go me! I got a post card too, just because I felt like it would be a pretty good souveneir. Don't worry though, I will send you guys postcards from the countries I visit. :)

I'm in a mood tonight. It's like I want to be social, but I want people to come to me instead of me going to them. I'm being high-maintenance social, lol. So instead of being out there I'm just chilling in my cabin writing this blog and will probably be reading important things soon.

I have checked my email at least ten times today. MOM! HANNAH! DAD! WHOEVER! Email me about your activities too. I miss the contact. I keep waiting for you guys to email me back, and I have to wait even longer when I wake up in the morning because it's like 3am your time, and you're definitely not emailing me then!

Let's see, what else? I feel like as the days go on my posts are going to become shorter and shorter because my time will just be spent in class all the time. And what is there to say about that stuff, really? I guess I could give you some interesting quotes or something, would you like that?

I'm meeting and recognizing more people now, it's always nice to be waved while walking down the hallways. :)

I can't think of much else I did today, sorry! it was a slow day. I promise to be more interesting tomorrow :P
