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!

  1. Hopefully you can find wrist bands or something to help with your lack of sailor leggs in Spain! It must really be bad because you have always been a pretty good sailor. Wishing you a strong stomach!xxxoomom
