The Amazing (Slippery) Race

Tonight our ship had an amazing race style competition. Our team consisted of 8 people and we all were running around all 8 decks figuring out different clues.  There were 480 students competing in the race. All things were going well until it started storming. The ship was rocking like crazy and all 480 of us were slipping all over the place. So we were doing well until we stopped doing well and ended up coming in 10th. It was a lot of fun and of course... we celebrated our loss with ice cream cones on the deck under the midnight stars. I've been feeling really homesick recently! I miss driving and being able to just get in my car and go to a movie. I miss my bed. I miss my family! But enough dwelling on the things that I can't change... tomorrow I am heading to class (just like every other day...) but I'm going to entertain myself by attempting to run on the treadmill with my roommate. We've decided that we are going to successfully balance on one even if the waves are crazy. We might just go back to the elypticals after a few anticipated moments of falling flat on our faces. :)
 
Random fact: Every night at dinner we have some sort of pasta and some type of potatoes. We are kind of getting sick of it. It is now the running joke on the ship...
 
I am putting on a show for the ship towards the end of the voyage. It is a class project between me and 6 other really fun people in my group. I am actually excited about it!
 
But I actually need to stop updating you because... THERE IS A HUGE STORM ROLLING OVER THE SHIP!!!!!! I must go outside and be in the rain and watch the thunder and lightning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so excited!!! Love you guys!! Have an awesome day!
