Not a very interesting day today, the majority of it was spent at orientation. The only interesting speaker was Don, our Global Studies professor. Don is a zany, energetic old man with an enormous passion for teaching. I’m extremely eager to have class with him.
At the day’s end, however, we got to sign up for activities on the ship, which was very exciting. I’m looking to do intramural sports, help plan the Sea Olympics, play in a bluegrass jam group and I started a drum circle group. I signed up for the new family program, in which a few lifelong learners “adopt” six to eight SAS students. It basically consists of eating dinner together once a week. I also signed up to teach sports to the kids on the ship, who are children of the faculty and staff. Most excitingly, I signed up for movement and dance, which is basically free dancing to music. And the girl to guy ratio is most excellent.
The funniest moment of the day came from our friend Clara, as it has become clear to Nick and myself that she thinks we’re a gay couple. See, we are from the same area, go to college together, and planned our travels and rooming situation together. Plus, we are really close friends and are very in tune comedically. So I can see why she extrapolated what she did. Nick and I don’t care; in fact we find it hilarious. Our only concern is that we both want to get with her, and it may hurt our chances. If it becomes clear that our chances have been spoiled, we decided we will "come out" to her just for shits and giggles. Sorry for the short entry, it’s late and I gotta get to bed. Until tomorrow, friends.
