My New Home: MV Explorer

I finally made it on the ship! I was so psyched cuz i got a porthole in my cabin and I def was not expecting it. Im one of the lucky ones! The first nite here we just went to meetings and I also met my roomate, Lauren Shea from NJ. She goes to PACE in nyc & she is also work study. Our room number is 4161, in case any of you want to call me. I work in the library with 4 other people and I think it'll be pretty easy. Cody, the coordinator said that we have the best deal cuz not only do we get on the ship early, but we're making about $31/hour :) Tomorrow will be crazy though because everyone is going to be boarding. There are 702 students, the largest SAS class ever. This is a pic of me on deck 7, the deck where the pool, spa, and gym are. The picture above that is me and Lauren with the crew, all filipinos! The food so far isnt so bad. They serve food accordingly to each country we visit, so I've been eating a lot of different Bahama fish. On Monday we have orientation all day and then our first day of class on Tuesday. Everyone on the ship has to take Global Studies and Im also taking Marine Bio, Health Promotion, and Spirit Posession and Enthnography. On Wednesday Ill be able to use my cell phone and make calls.....Puerto Rico here I come!
