The last few weeks on board have been really strange. There are so many people that are gone it makes everything seem abnormal. Sometimes I forget that my time is ever going to end as well. Since the girls in the spa have the longest contract there is never anyone onboard for our entire contract ... This means I have to say goodbye more frequently then others :( But I guess what doesn't kill you makes u stronger. Anyway life on board other then saying goodbye all...

I guess the president of Russia decided to treat all the volunteers of APEC to cruise to Japan. So he paid for 500 young adults to be on board for two days.

Money has been on my mind a lot lately especially cuz I'm not making any haha. Chinese season will be over at the end of this month so I hope things will get better after that. I am so excited for the end of the month because we are headed to Russia for two weeks and on the way there we are out at sea for two day...

Living at sea can sometimes make the time go by quick but there are some weeks that just seem to drag on forever! This has been one of those weeks. I just can seem to get through a day without thinking its never going to end. For example I had the afternoon off the other day so i thought a nap would help me pass some time... 4 and a half hours later I awoke from a terrible dream that we were sinking only to wake up and find out we might not make it to the next po...
