Now that I am sailing towards Morrocco... I am techincally getting closer to my home! Both last night and tonight we gained an hour back in our day. I remember sailing out towards Spain and losing an hour each night. By tomorrow I will be 8 hours ahead of my home instead of 10. I'm crossing time zones! The waters two nights ago were extremely rough. Luckily I went to sleep and woke up to calm waters once more. Last night our ship had a live auction to help raise money for future SASers. Some of the auction items were trips to China, Montreal, New York and Virginia as well as a map signed by the captain, a chance to steer the ship, a chance to raise the US Flag in Boston, first off the ship in Boston etc. The map signed by the captain sold for $400. The trip to China sold for $2300 (and that is without a flight!). The prices were outrageous! I have no idea how everyone could afford to spend their money like this. I was hesitant enough today to buy 3 cookies for $1.95 let alone a $400 map! My goal before we get to Morrocco is to finish all of my classwork. I have one essay left for my global studies course which is due in 3 hours... I have 2 essays left for my Race, Class and Gender course... and 1 essay left for theater along with a final presentation of a play.Then THAT'S IT! I can't believe how close to the end we're getting. For any of you who might care... I am going ziplining in less than a week. I am sooo excited! I hope that the weather is nice, that the ropes are strong, and that the trees are trimmed!!!! It should be an awesome experience!
