Woah... everybody hold on.

I have literally heard 10 or more people say, "Woah! Everybody hold on!" today as we have been crossing through some of the most difficult waters we've experienced so far. My sea sickness was back this morning. The ocean is filled with white caps on every wave. People are rolling off of their chairs, falling down stairs, tripping as the floor seems to roll up beneath you as you're walking down a hall... I've never seen anything like this before. I got super sick in class because I could see the horizon going up and down through the window. Right now I'm sitting in my room on my bed and I am literally holding on to the wall to keep my balance... and I'm SITTING. It's absolutely insane. We are making a pit stop at Gibraltar to fuel up tomorrow! After we get there we will no longer be out in the middle of no where and we'll be able to see land surrounding us again. My personal theory about why the water is so crazy is because we are approaching the mouth of the Mediterranean and the various currents from the Atlantic and the Med are crashing together. I could be very wrong... but it sounds smart! All of my books just slid off of my table. I need to go pick them up and attempt to get some reading done before class. Wish me luck and take a moment to appreciate the solid ground you are standing or sitting on right now...
