Ooo, cake!

I've been on the ship for about two days now.

Yesterday me and Isaiah got on the ship earlier than a lot of other people because his last name starts with A so I boarded with him.  We went through some mild registration some and then saw our room, which is small but awesome.  It's not the size that matters, remember, its how much like home it feels.

Then we explored the ship, from deck 2 to deck 7, checking out the pool, student union, purser's desk, and everything else.  then we left to go take a walk around the Bahamas with Isaiah's parents at 11 AM.  It was easy to see who was a SAS student not only because they were white but because they wore a nametag.

Then we watched as the Bahamas grew smaller and smaller, vanishing over the horizon.  The rest of the day was filled with meeting people and getting used to the constant rocking back and forth.

Which, I may add, is a great way to fall asleep.  It feels like I'm in a giant cradle and mommy is shaking me to sleep.  Isaiah won't sing me a lullaby though.

This morning and all day was Orientation, but its not like Chapman orientation, it was a series of meetings about various safety things, staff introductions, how this works, how that works, and in between were meals and time to meat people.  The main even was Obama's inauguration, which we got on a live feed and was very emphatically received by everyone on the ship.

Tonight is an Inauguration Celebration, with champagne and cake.  Everyone was like "ooo champagne!"  I was like "oooo, cake!"
