ARGGGHHH!

January 24, 2009
Well today like many others have been filled with class and laying out. But there were several things that changed today. I signed up for several different clubs. The first one that I went to was the 24 hour pirate watch club. It was quite interesting. Of course we are not actually going to watch with the crew when they are ordered to watch out for pirates 24 hours a day but we will be supporting them. I actually just found out today that from South Africa to India the crew is outside on the deck 24/7 with strobe lights watching out for pirates. SCARY!!! But I am thankful that we have the fastest ship. We can outrun those pirates. I also signed up for the extended family. This is a group of about 6-8 students who pair up with the adults on the ship and have meals with them at least once a week. Sometimes they treat you to snacks on the ship and in port. I have heard that you become best friends with your extended family and that they come to your wedding and other events. I hope I get a couple that reminds me of my parents. I also signed up for the pre school program on the boat. A couple times this semester I will be able to work with the kids on the boat. They are all about 5 and under. I get to play games with them, take them swimming, do arts and crafts, etc. I am excited to work with the kids because they are soooo cute. One of the little boys sang a song at the talent show, he was precious, his name is Christopher and he is 4 years old. I miss the kids that I baby sit for :( Well I better get to bed, we lose another hour again tonight so I am officially 4 hours in front of the east coast. Talk about tiring. But its all worth it.
Love u guys
