Day 45 – At Sea

DISCLAIMER: These entries for days while at sea are going to be a fairly brief, because I’m behind on my journaling and I think my adventures in port are more interesting to read (and write about) than my experiences on the ship. And I’m just working off of bullet points. That said, I’ll try to keep them as interesting as possible.

I always lose the morning first day back from port. I don’t have class until 11:00 am on A days, and I’m always exhausted from all the travel. So I slept in until class, and then didn’t really start my day until after I’d eating lunch, which was at about 1:00 in the afternoon.

My next class is painting, and I had to finish my midterm portfolio, which was due that afternoon. I had a few more pieces to complete and some sketches to do in my sketchbook. Class starts at 3:30, so I knocked them all over the two and half hours I had.

After painting, I found some time to work on my journal (read: this blog). I still had my time in Hong Kong to recollect, as well as my cultural reactions. Though, of course, I didn’t have as much time to spend on my journal as I would have liked.

At night, Tolan and I continued to work on How to Pick up a Latin Chick. Because, now, the song is completed, it is hard for me to comment on where, exactly, we were in the process of writing the song. But the note that I have down is that it was “getting very funny.” My guess is that we were nearing wrapping up our second section of the song, which was about courting a “lady from the East.”
