Two nights ago was one of the most fun nights so far on the ship. Because Swing dancing was such a big hit the night before, there were student led Salsa dance lessons last night. After that we all played cards in the Garden Lounge (also a cafeteria during meal hours) and then, having to loose another hour of sleep, went to bed. It is funny to think that we have lost four hours so far, so we are four hours ahead of everyone at home. Doing it progressively isn’t that bad though, and with coffee in the morning I feel well rested! Yesterday was another full day of classes, followed by relaxing outside and then watching a documentary entitled “Finding Face” at night. One of the producers of the documentary is our video guy on the ship! The documentary is about acid attacks on women in southern Asia, focusing on Cambodia. It was a hard hitting film, especially because we are going to that area. Also, the documentary hasn’t been released yet because they still need to ensure the security of the people/families involved and promote it through various media outlets. We are only the second group of people ever to be shown the film, the first group being the Fall ’08 voyage. After that, although we had all planned to go to pub night, we all went to bed. Right now I am sitting in the Piano lounge in between breakfast and Global Studies. We are rocking more today than we have been ever before and it is actually fun. We look out on the horizon and count the bars on the outside decks to see how high and low the horizon goes from our perspective! Oh the little things in life. After Global I’m relaxing some more, maybe playing cards, eating lunch, and then napping and taking a shower. LOVE LOVE LOVE being rocked to sleep. It is glorious. Oh life is hard, life is hard.
