Another day at Sea

Since I did not have piano tutoring this morning, I woke up latish around 9:30. I felt so much better and rested. I went to classes. Comedy always makes me feel better, and today it was brought up that I apparently always do some sort of accent during my "skits." History was the same old, and after I met with Professor Ringrose to ask questions about the midterm study guide. He was very helpful, but it was still difficult to follow him sometimes even when he was explaining the information behind some of the questions. Lunch was also a good change... taco day again. It's not even like the taco (or taco salad for me to make it vegetarian) is that good, it just tastes so good after so many days of pasta, potatoes, and/or rice. I worked for a few hours down in the main dining hall, and I signed up for dinner with dialogue to have dinner with a faculty. I signed up for Professor Wood, the teacher of the "Disease and Healing," and "Food for Thought" classes. Dinner today was a simple matter of just plain old steamed rice, which was actually a nice change like lunch. It's interesting how I've just wanted plain food (plain rice, plain old pasta with marinara, etc) for meals. I ate dinner with Booby, and we talked about our plans in India. He was actually going to Mumbai with Aman, and so I gave him a few suggestions about Mumbai and India in general. After a great dessert of Orange Sherbet, I went back to my room to work. I realized that I was on top of things, which felt really good after three days of working on so many things. So I decided to take a break, and I hung out with Ace and Devon in their room (where they almost always are) until Sea Olympics Pep Rally. The Pep Rally was a lot of fun, and people were much more excited and spirited than I was expecting. Each sea did a skit to bash of the others and how off their own stuff. I thought it was a little unfair that the Nomer Sea had Griffin as their mascot, he is so adorable, and everyone loves him. Afterwards, they had sign-ups for the games. I signed up for Lip Singing, Orange, Pass, Dodge ball, and Sustainable Art (whatever that is). That is when I really realized how few people I knew in my hall. This will hopefully help me meet some of them. I finished up some work and called it a night around 1, which was my typical bed time on the ship.
