Life at sea is still awesome. For the next month we spend most of our time on land and then the last three weeks we basically are at sea the whole time. It will be quite the finals week. The internet has been a little iffy lately hence the gap in entry times. A lot of times I’ll have it written and then this website won’t work for me- so sorry. I’m still alive. Obviously. But because of that I’ve missed updating on some fun stuff I’ve been doing onboard! First of all, each semester there is the Sea Olympics. There were a bunch of seas: Yellow, Red, Bering, Adriatic, Aegean, Baltic, Caribbean, Silver, Arabian, and Mediterranean. I was in the Med Sea, and our captain chose the color pink out of a hat. So our team color was pink. My hall is not very enthusiastic about this sort of thing and we ended up getting tenth place… out of ten. Hahhaa I had a lot of fun though. There was a full day between Mauritius and India that we didn’t have class. Instead, there were events from 9 am to 9 pm. Some events were synchronized swimming, swimsuit relays, (mashed) potato sculpting, limbo, slippery twister, scrabble, poker, global studies trivia, extreme musical chairs, dodgeball, soccer, and volleyball. I was in (extreme) Pictionary, Hawaiian bowling (it involves soap and a Caution: Wet floor sign, and it is probably my life calling), and lip sync. Lip sync was by far my favorite part of the day. All the seas had five minutes each to do a little performance. Most of them were really, really funny and well done. For the Med Sea it was me, three other girls and four guys. We decided to go the cross dressing route. Our songs were “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun”, “I’m Too Sexy”, “Dontcha”, “Pimpin’ All Over the World”, and “My Humps.” It was SO much fun, and it ended up being really funny. Med Sea didn’t suck at something! But we still got last place overall. The sea that won the Sea Olympics gets to disembark first in Miami. Grrr. Oh sorry, by the way seas are our halls. Like, I live on the third deck port side. Half of that hall is the Med Sea. There are about five halls split in half basically.
The night after Sea Olympics was Mr. Semester at Sea (aka Mr. SASsy). There were a bunch of guys that competed in a fashion show, talent competition, and an open ended question section. It was really funny to sea the different sides of people and how creative some people are. It was an entertaining couple of days.
After India, we had the Crew Talent Show. The crew on the ship is AWESOME, and they work so hard. They are constantly doing this or that, and it has been fun getting to know some of them. Anyway, there was a fundraiser for them and there were about 17 different acts, I think they said. It was soooo much fun. Some songs were just actually really well done while some did the most ridiculous (and sexual) dances I have ever seen. After all that air humping, it’s impossible to look at them the same ever again. Hahaha Basically, I have not laughed so much as I have at these three events. It’s so great when everyone squeezes into the union and just has a fun time. I love it.
While being at sea is great, I really, REALLY want a Wegman’s turkey sub… but what else is new? But since that is the worst problem I have in life right now, I think I’m doing alright!
Hope all is well on the other side of the world! (Seriously though! I am now 12 hours different than you guys! Ah!)
