Happy September First!

Hello,

 

A quick update from the ocean. We are almost to Spain...almost. Just two more days of ocean. So far we have seen one fishing boat and some islands and that is it! But the weather has been sunny and today is the first day with no sea patches, ginger or medicine! We finally have our sea legs!

 

The last few days have been class days and class logistics. It is really busy and hectic with tons of reading and a whole lot of work. There is a lot more reading and work than I remember there being the last time I was on SAS. Time management has been  tricky.

 

The cutest thing I saw today: There are some teachers on the ship who have twin 4 year old girls and they are so cute. While I was out on the 7th deck reading by the pool the twins came over and wanted to "make footprints.' They had their mom and dad dip their feet into the pool and then they would put the girls on the wood floor around the pool to dance around and "make footprints." They did this for like a half hour. It was so, so cute! I love having all the little kids on board!

 

The time change is nuts! We just keep loosing an hour everyday. I think Oregon is about 8 hours behind me now. Day and time have suddenly disappeared and now we just keep track of time by what port we are going to or are in and what classes we have.

 

I miss running on land so, so much. One of the treadmills is broken right now, but I am excited to get to Cadiz and run on land for a change!

 

Back to class for me!
