Rough Seas!

I am finally on the boat and what an amazing day it has been! I had to shuttle out to the boat at 7AM and quickly move into my room because then I was put to work right away. I got a work study on the boat that pays for a big portion of my trip and I work in student life, specifically I work in academic success and I am the only student working in that department. My job today consisted is giving directions to people on the boat, mainly leading people checking in to the check in station. It was kind of funny that they put me in this position because I alone just got on the boat and had no idea where anything was except the check-in station! I had to lead all the student life people in an ice breaker of my choice, luckily I have the Step-Up program to thank for giving me ideas on some of the ice breakers.

I have met so many people today it is ridiculous! I feel like this is freshmen year all over again, no one knows anyone but everyone is trying to meet everyone! I have met people from all over and everyone is really cool. My roommate is pretty cool too and I know we probably won't have any roommate issues. There is also a cold front coming in which is bringing in rough seas. People have already gotten sea sick! I feel fine though, I guess I am use to boats. It is really funny watching people walk down the halls because no one can walk straight in these seas, if you didn't know they were on a boat you would think they were drunk or something!

Bad news, the bandwidth on the boat is terrible and I can't upload picture to my blog! I will make sure to upload all of them when I get back!

Next time I will be in the continental United States is on the east coast. Hawaii here I come!
