I have some bad news. I got sunburnt today. Apparently I’m not as invincible as I thought. After my Global Studies exam I went up to the pool deck in hopes of taking a little nap-a-roo out in the sunshine. Well, I didn’t end up falling asleep because it was ridiculously hot! I know, it seems like I tell you how hot it is basically in about every post, but let me tell you…IT WAS HOT! We were also moving super slow because we were ahead of schedule, so there was hardly a breeze. So…some friends and I were enjoying the sunshine, but we were also sweating buckets. Yes, buckets. It was absolutely disgusting…but sometimes you have to make sacrifices if you want to keep your good tan, right? Haha. Once I couldn’t stand it any longer, I jumped in the pool , which was amazing. After that I was not nearly as hot, but between sweating and jumping in the pool, the sunscreen on my face completely disappeared. Oops! No worries, though, aloe works wonders.

Now I have some good news. WE HAD THE BEST LUNCH IN THE HISTORY OF SEMESTER AT SEA TODAY! Actually, I lied…Taco day was probably my favorite so far…but…as you know, this week I’ve been completely disgusted with the food so I have been avoiding meals at all costs. WELL…when I was up on the pool deck, we heard a little rumor that there were FRENCH FRIES for lunch. FRENCH FRIES! Whoo! We had DELICIOUS fries and they also served turkey sandwiches! I was so full by the time I walked out of the dining hall. I’m pretty sure that any weight I’ve lost from being on my little dinner roll / fruit diet was definitely gained back in this meal. Ah, it was wonderful. I took a 2.5 hour nap after that – so long, I know! It must have been the turkey.
