'we come from jamaica, we have a bobsled team.."


i'm up early for classes today, boo. we had sea olympics yesterday and everyone is exhausted. we are now +10h &30m ahead of the east coast, as india has it's own rules for time zones. i am going to try and be very academically focused today so that i don't have to worry about papers any longer.. wish me luck!

in other news, they played slumdog millionaire on the closed circuit tv's for us yesterday but unfortunately the tv's are tiny and the subtitles were even tinier. they also played 'stick it' and 'cool runnings,' which confirms that they have a lot of great movies hiding somewhere but that they rarely play them. there seems to be a theory that all the good movies are played when we shouldn't be near our tv's, like when in port or on days with activities. oh well.

we have four more days until india and i think everyone is a little nervous. india will be a challenging port emotionally and everyone is gearing up for what they will see. i am getting very excited for my home stay, more so than i thought i would.

off to breakfast &class,
love you all!

watch out for sea olympics &mauritius posts..   
        ..after i've finished my papers, of course!

Hi there,
the word for today is flatiest. I'm sure but i think it beyond flattest. Or is it the person who makes things real flat, like a specialist, a flatiest. One who squashes things extra flat !!!!
Don't say boo about classes my dear, we are expecting up to a foot of snow between today & tomorrow. LMM I'm sure will weigh in on that too.
Waiting as always for another post.
RJB & I are off to SBCC

Love Dad & Rebecca
