14 march 2009

some exciting things that happened today:

my ship "brother", harry, turned 11 today. so we had a birthday party! with ice cream cake and about 60 people! he's one popular 5th grader.

my sea had a special get-together in the faculty/staff lounge to celebrate our place in the sea olympics. i know have yet to actually post about that day, but there was an upset and we were placed 5th. after demanding a recount, we were officially 2nd! they had forgotten to count a gold medal! so we had ice cream and played apples to apples in the fancy faculty/staff lounge.

mckendree and i booked our hostel for bangkok and i'm relieved. its always good to know that we have a place to stay. we are most definitely taking a cooking class and i'm absolutely thrilled! it will be so much fun, and we'll get to keep the recipes (and eat the food, of course). and they'll be arranging to pick us up and drop us at our hotel.

our pre-port was entertaining, as usual and i am now back in the room, watching the office and attempting to pack. and to finish my india blog. all at the same time.

and now, i'm off to focus on the show, attempt to type and eventually i'll pack.
