I could never be a sailor


I have no clue how anyone can live on a ship for extended periods of time. The hardest thing so far has been adjusting to the rocking and getting my sea legs. Last night we hit some pretty big swells and I woke up to the sound of the ship crashing back into the water. My first thought was automatically the Titanic. All the crew seems to think that it is normal and are very calm, so at least I know I am not in danger. Apparently we are going right in between two hurricanes so in the next couple of days the rocking is going to get worse. I doubt I will be able to keep my cool during that. Yay for not getting sick!!!! If you do not know what it feels like the best way I can describe it is being at the top of the rollercoaster and turning to start the free fall. Only it is constant.
Other then the seasickness there is nothing super exciting happening yet. Everyone I have met is really cool including my roommate. She is from Staten Island and I am surprised how little she brought, I thought I did a good job packing. Classes are good so far, and they seem like they will actually be fun, or at least the one I have had. Internet time is limited and low so pictures and videos will be hard to post, but I will do my best.
Talk to you soon!

Halifax and Larissa

I hate it when you have to admit your mother is right... mom you were right I would use Italian sooner or later. The Italian Navy is in port and they are fine!!! Unfortunately, the only three words that I could remember while I was sitting in the restaurant approached by two cuties were Ciao, bonjourno, and si. Pathetic I know, but hey now ill actually pay attention in class. Yesterday Amanda and I walked about 10 miles and explored the entire city. Sooo, of course the last thing we wanted to do is walk more today, but after Larissa showed up there was a new pep in our step and we walked up the crazy big hill called the Citadel and hung out at the fort. There were hobbit tunnels, kilts, guns, and bagpipes!!! Can't get much better. We set sail tomorrow, start class on saturday (I think). Can't wait!!!! 
Canadian commercials are awful by the way ... 
"Soory I wont talk toomoorrow aboot my trip eh!!!"
Love ya'll

The Adventure Begins

Al-righty! I am sitting in the Philadelphia airport with Amanda, and after reading her blog I decided that I would copy... exactly, my background is even the same. We are so excited and after a long and restless flight from Denver I am anxious to get to Halifax. Can't wait to start this adventure, but I will miss everyone back home. I will try my hardest to update as much as I possibly can so keep checking back!

World here I come!!!!!
