February 7th Bahamas-San Juan (half blog, AGAIN)

Tuesday, February 6^th

Woke up to another gorgeous day, water sparkling in the sun.

Took my sweet little time getting ready and had a granola bar for a quick breakfast. I was kind of nervous that I might get a bit seasick and not be able to focus on classes, so I popped a seasickness pill.

At 9:20 had global studies. The main professor was kind of blah, but the one that was hardcore in love with central and south America was mega cool.

He was so energetic and I could really feel his passion, which made us excited.

After that I roamed around the bookstore a bit, and dished out a fortune for an SAS hoodie, pants and a t-shirt. This t-shirt is really nice, since it has all the countries we are going to on our voyage printed in the back.

Lunch was again, about the same menu. Read for the first few minutes and then Doug, this guy from Paris joined me. He was nice, had the international vibe about him J

Attempted to use the internet, this time it was pretty speedy.

Read everyone’s message on facebook, and I really wanted my suitemates to be here with me. It wasn’t because I missed them so much, but because it is such an amazing experience that I wished I could share it with them.

I headed back to the room to read, but then for some reason felt really tired and fell asleep.

When I sprung up out of my sleep it was 10 minutes before my class, critical issues of the twentieth century.

Now this class was something. The professor was probably one of the quirkiest people I have ever met so far. His favorite words are “seriously” and “in context”. He would jump ALL OVER the place when he was talking. I remember him suddenly saying something like “I’m the mad hatter..blah blah” and then suddenly bashing Bush for tapping into his phone lines. He’s quite the character, hope he’s good at teaching too.
