The night before the no-class day was crazy to say the least. That night we had our first ship dance, themed 80s dance party. I have never been that into the 80s or its music but it ended up being the most fun activity on the ship thus far. I actually wasn’t planning on going until after the pub night started. I ripped through my closet to find something to wear… I was definitely going to half to be creative. I came up tube socks I cut into leg warmers, a hot pink bathing suit top, a mutilated wife-beater, and a random mini skirt. And to top it off green eye-shadow and a side ponytail. My friends came to pick me up at my room and we headed to the 7th deck for pub night. Now, if you did not know, SAS strictly monitors alcohol consumption and you are only allowed to have a max of 4 drinks (beer, wine, wine cooler) in a two hour period, and you have to purchase your tickets (for alcohol) before dinner. I also like to note that this is the first time I have drank on the ship (I am trying to save my money for more worth-while ventures). But anyhow, after a quick stop at pubnight we headed to the union to dance. I have no idea how drinks people were actually getting at pubnight, or if perhaps the alcohol tolerance of the entire ship decreased, but there seem to be some very intoxicated people attempting to dance. Very admusing to say the least. The dance party ended at midnight and as soon as the lights came up I was (sweat-drenched and) out of there.

I got to sleep in until 12 the next day (NO CLASS!!) and since my room is pitch dark without any windows I probably could have slept all day. I lounged the entire day. At dinner they had a huge BBQ for us on the pool deck. It was awesome to have a cheese burger and ribs again. Besides have five different deserts, this amazing coconut ice cream was also served. It was defiantly the best two days I have had on the ship so far, but I still can’t wait to get off this boat and to step onto Africa.
