“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” -Mark Twain

Spain Tomorrow!!

We finally made it. We are docking in Spain tomorrow morning and I am so excited :) My friends and I made plans to go to Seville for a few days and tour the city and then come back to Cadiz the day before we need to be back on the boat..dont want to risk any dock time for being late.  Everyone has said that Cadiz is small enough where you can take one day and see everything that is important to see. I just don't want to miss anything. We also are getting ready to celebrate miss Mackenzie's 18th birthday. She has been counting down the days and it is almost here. Her birthday falls on the day that we depart for Morocco, so we are taking her out on the 7th and at midnight it will be her birthday so we are going to celebrate then.
 
Today is our last day of classes for 10 days..we don't have class until we get back from Morocco and I, for one, am so excited. I like my classes and all. It's just so much reading and note taking that it will be nice to have a break for a while (even though we have only had classes for 6 days haha but that's beside the point ;) As I said in my last post, days seem to run togther while we are on this ship. We live according to A and B days. Today is B3. So if in any of my emails/posts I refer to a day as A3, B4 and you are confused I am sorry. I have no concept of Monday, Tuesday, etc anymore. My A day is my favorite day. I only have one class and it isnt until 1335 (1:35pm)..I'm getting so good at using military time haha.
So my schedule is:
A Day
1335 (1:35pm) Intro to Drawing (it is turning out to be a really fun and interesting class)
B Day
800 (8:00am)- Contemporary Social Issues (it is interesting but there is so much reading for it that it has become a tedious class)
920 (9:20am)- Global Studies (I usually spend this time not to fall asleep)
1455 (2:55pm)- Making Business Work (I am liking this class a lot)
 
Last night my business teacher had us watch a movie called "Abandon Ship"..not the kind of movie you want to watch as you are sailing in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean with no land in sight. I might as well have watched Titanic. It was decent but I wouldn't watch it again.
 
Last night we moved the clocks ahead one more hour and it was the last time until after we leave Cape Town, I think/I hope haha. It is defintitely catching up to me. I had an 8am class this morning and could barely wake up. Everyone seems so tired. It's like we are going to class at 3am (which we would be if we were still on Boston time). I've heard that once we get over to Asia and all of those countries like India, Vietnam, etc we will have to set the clocks ahead 2-4 hours...I hope that its not true because that would suck, especially getting up for classes the next day..but we'll just have to wait and see.
 
SPAIN TOMORROW!!!!!
