Location Not Found

Hello everyone! Well our ship experienced its first storm last night. The waves were pretty rough but for the most part we were able to sleep through them. The skies are pretty dark today though and I get a very erie feeling knowing that I am stuck in the middle of the ocean no matter what kind of weather comes my way. My computer has a weather detector on it and today the icon says "location not found". I laughed when I read that because it is so true. At this point who knows where we truly are... it feels the same as yesterday and looks the same as the day before that. Nothing but water. EVERYWHERE.

 

For those of you who know me really well (which is probably most of you...) You will appreciate this story:

My roommate and I were in bed last night about ready to fall asleep when I thought I heard her crying. I asked her if she was ok and she said, "yeah I'm fine!" It was quiet for a few more moments and then she said, "I get really homesick everytime I start to fall asleep," I started thinking about it and those were my thoughts exactly. Something about not having a hug from someone for almost a week is really strange... and I miss it! Just as I was thinking that she said, "Would you mind if we started hugging each other at least once a day?? I just miss hugging people and being hugged..." I almost started crying and I said, "Of course!!" So we got up and hugged each other and felt sooo much better and then went to sleep. For those of you who know me... you should be able to recognize that this girl is an answer to my prayers!! She and I are becoming such great friends. I love it. 

 

I slept through breakfast this morning. The ship's time changes every day. So at the beginning of this voyage we were at Eastern Time and since then we have lost an hour a day. So today it feels like we are waking up at 4 AM just to get breakfast. I decided to skip it and just sleep in. My first class is at 1045 thankfully so I have the option of doing that.

 

We are doing an "Amazing Race" on the ship tonight. The team that wins gets to deboard the ship first in Barcelona. I'm pretty excited! It will be something fun and finally different to do. Well I think that is the full update from over here. I hope you are all doing well!
