Before I start to get into the details that might be of interest to you all, I want to explain the title of my first blog post. It went for a run today in the ship’s exercise room, which was quite the experience. Most exercise equipment I have been on has all kinds of fun functions; jogging trail, mountain climbs, up hills, ect. Trust me, those settings don’t quite prepare you for the experience of running at sea…I almost fell off several times, and for those of you who now how spastic I am, that’s not surprising.
So for the most part, I am now officially UP AND RUNNING (side note: I cut my toe on the door and almost had to get a stitch today).
Here are some fun facts about my time at sea so far…
Roommate: My roomie at sea is from Wisconsin, and her name is Brit. She’s cool, and of course has the mid western American accent. She doesn’t say “Ya’ll”, but she makes fun of me when I say “Eh.”
All other American’s on board: My goal by the end of this voyage is to make friends with at least one person from every state. So far I can check off; Colorado, Wisconsin, Illinois, Texas, Kentucky, and California, so I am well on my way towards my goal.
Class: When the sea is your classroom, it’s hard to focus on school, but Mom and Dad, don’t worry; I have been to all 3/3 of my classes.
I think I’m going to end my first post because I’m really hungry, and the dude’s pizza beside me looks really good, but I promise I will try and “blog,” (I still can’t believe I’m a “blogger,”) as much as possible.
To my friends and family at home: I miss and love you all, I wish you could all be here, but I’m glad that it’s me that is.
