Bare What? BERING!!

The Sea Olympics were a blast. My resident director has been pumping us up for this day since the first sea meeting we had on day #1. [FYI—my sea is the Bering sea and includes half of the kids in my hall (4th deck, port side) and our color was black]. The winner of the Sea Olympics get to get off the boat first in San Diego, which can be a looooong day if you’re last. And with that in mind (and the 3 hours-in-the-hot-sun wait in the Bahamas to get on), Miss “Class of 2004 Most-Spirited”, has cheered her ass off. We blew the competitors out of the water in the opening ceremony with a 10 minute long parade, which included a step routine and dance. Throughout the day we competed hard. The event I participated in (the scavenger hunt) we won! By the end of the day, the judges and announcers told us not to cheer anymore b/c I guess we were “too spirited”. The last event was karaoke/lip sync contest and we’re in second place down by two points. We had an absolutely awesome lip-sync routine but we were chosen to go 2nd (and I think the judges were a little conservative w/our scoring), but we got 4th out of 9 but it was just enough to make us the overall champions! Heck yeah! So watch for me in San Diego b/c I will be the first one off the boat!
