Hello from the coast of Alaska! Well, I have to say that my dreams of lying
out by the pool in the sun haven't quite come true yet.
< the 'before' picture
We are currently on the coast of Alaska and it is freezing out here! Things are great though. I have met a ton of people, and I am having a blast. My roommate is very cool, and I am trying to keep busy. Shipboard life can get pretty boring.
I did get a little seasick the first couple of days, but I am pretty much over it now. Classes are good, I have two teachers from India and they can be hard to listen to sometimes. I went to the top of the ship last night and watched the sunset with some friends and it was beautiful!
Unfortunately no pictures will be on their way considering I am paying 50 cents a minute for this. Anyway, things are great and we arrive in Japan a
week from tomorrow. On more cool thing I wanted to add is that for the last 3 nights we have gotten to put our clocks back an hour, then we lose a day
on the 3rd. So we will go to sleep on the 3rd and wake up on the 5th!
Well, there is so much more to say, but I just can't afford it!
