So today was my fifth day at sea. The ship is somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean headed toward Salvador, Brazil. I think all of us are pretty ready to get off the ship and have other adventures on land.
I wasn't able to transfer the Science Education credits to Cal so I'm stuck taking the Mental Illness class. I missed one class already because I thought it was going to be okay. oops.
Everyone on the ship is starting to look familiar, people are remembering each others names. I have given up on introducing myself as Rocio because no one can ever pronounce it. I've gotten Lucille, Rosario, the usual Rock-io when they're taking roll, etc. Lol I'm used to it but I'm sticking to Rosie.
My birthday was nice -- we had a chocolate ice cream cake and a bunch of my cabin neighbors came to celebrate with me. It was pretty cool to spend a birthday on a ship in the middle of the ocean!
I signed up for the Vicarious Voyage with SAS where a group of us is going to be keeping in touch with a classroom in the States. Two Santa Clara students and I got a 6th grade class in Acampo in Northern California. We will send them "cultural packets" that include newspapers, pictures, etc, from each port we visit and the teachers incorporate it in their curriculum. The kids also write to us so that should be fun!
