Hellllo from the middle of the ocean! So basically I am having the time of my life! Everyone is so friendly and I have already met some great friends. It turns out that my roommate never showed so I have a room to myself! It’s very nice. The boy next to me also has a room to himself so him and I have been playing lots of Uno. Most of the kids on this ship are from California or the East Cost. Not many people know what Mizzou is or where it is even located. The other day we had a book discussion by the pool. Everyone is so relaxed here and wants to learn. I think its safe to say this will be the only time in my life I will be in class with Cornell and Brown students. All the teachers are so smart and interesting. My writing teacher is one of the top editors at the New Yorker. My classes are so fun and interesting. It is a nice break from Mizzou classes. All the kids are so well traveled and down to earth. It is cool to be with kids like me who love the outdoors and traveling. We had pub night the other night. Everyone LOVES pub night. It is not all fun and games though. The classes are a lot of hard work but I don’t mind because they are so interesting. The food on the boat is ok. I am not sure how much more pasta I can eat. The ship is just like a vacation! They have a gym, spa, and much more. They also clean our room’s everyday and make our beds and do our laundry. They also offer classes like zumba and kick boxing. As I am writing this I am sitting on the top deck looking out at the ocean drinking a cup of coffee. Now this is the life!
