Sailors life for me

Today has been a good day. A weight has been lifted off my shoulders! I feel much more happy and like I can enjoy this semester fully now!

Tonight was the dinner with the extended family. It wasn’t the woman I thought it was, but she’s still very nice. She’s from St. Petersburg! So, we’ll probably be seeing each other after the voyage. She takes the elderly to a seeing eye dog center when the dogs are puppies so they can be loved and nurtured - SHE INVITED ME TO GO SOMETIME. Of course I’d go. PLEASE.

After the dinner I went to Church (aka Gay and Straight Alliance meeting). I loved it! I think I’ll stay involved in this group. 

Currently I am with Ryan, Terrance, Cody and Jackie studying. I really enjoy making friends on this ship. Terrance and Ryan are friends I’m going to have for a lifetime from this voyage (other than Jackie). I know I’m going to miss seeing them every day. Until then...
