First day of classes...

The waves were so rough last night and this morning. I skipped breakfast to see if there really was a need for me to get up and go. I now know there is. I was getting so sea sick this morning even with my wrist bands that I have been sporting. So I don’t think I will be making that mistake again…

I had a good night last night and met so really cool people. I even had my first date on the ship with two gentlemen. Now before Mario freaks out, this was purely a plutonic date which involved going to the 7th deck’s exercise room at 11:30pm (it was the earliest time there was an elipitical machine available) and then proceeding to the weight deck. Let me tell you it is quite a nauseating challenge to peddle on a rocking ship. It’s even harder trying to keep your balance while lifting and stretching. I have another date schedule for tonite at 9pm…

I had my first day of class. The global studies class is everyday and the other 4 that I have are split between two each day. Today I had International Trade Theory and History of Economic Thought in addition to GS. I already have reading homework L but we were asked to work on a purchasing power parity project when were in port. (In this PPP project we will see how much the same items cost in each country. We’ll collect info on McDonald’s big Macs and other items, and compare the differences.)

It was 77degrees out today so I just had to lay out while attempting to read my econ book. It was so nice although a little windy.

I found some people to hangout with in PR and there going to take me out for my bday on Monday. In PR I am thinking about exploring San Juan and el Morro, and possibly going to the rainforest, and for sure go to the bioluminescent bay.

I will definitely try to find an internet café in port so I won’t be posting anything tomorrow. Feel free to email me, b/c I am more likely to answer you in port then with the $.40 a minute onship internet.
