i did not sleep very well last night, i think i got tangled in my sheets. when i woke up i was not feeling so well so i went to breakfast and then went back to sleep for almost 2 hours. i missed global studies for the first time and i'm mad i did. i hate missing/skipping class. i probably would have fallen asleep in the union or had to leave so i suppose just this once it'll be okay. i'm not planning on making it a habit. i heard that the lecture was entertaining and interesting, so i'm sad i missed it.
we received our trips from the sign up we had before mauritius and i got a couple i really wanted and a couple i forgot to erase. i was so flustered, nearly forgetting to hand in my request sheet, that i didn't double check my choices. luckily, however, i got the japanese baseball trip, which is sold out, and there is a high demand. i'm selling the trip because we are going to organize our own trip. i just received an email from a girl who wants to buy my trip, so i'm glad to have that all organized. i'll go into more detail about my other trips when the time nears, so i don't run the risk repeat myself.
i've been doing my best to try and study for upcoming exams, i swear. there are no real quiet places on the ship, except for my room. but i don't like to study in my room because i usually sit on my bed and then want to nap. or simply not study. i'm going to give the lounge a try-- i'll just pop on my headphones and try not to talk to anyone.
we learned today that we will be able to sign up for times to use free internet, to be used for class registration, housing, job searching, etc. i am very relieved to have heard this, as i need to find a summer job! i'd love to stay close to home but i'll take what i can get. i'll be looking for jobs related to speech pathology/audiology, working with children, summer camps, anything. if anyone has suggestions, i'll gladly take them!
i spent the majority of my day studying and i was glad that the sun was not out, as i would have been tempted to sit outside. my test came and went, i dont think i did too bad on it. i also have been researching what to do in my next ports, mostly chennai and bangkok-- i want to have a list of things to do and not aimlessly wander, hoping to come across something.
dinner was fun, the usual girls and the california boys. we went out to watch the sunset and while i was getting my camera, 4 flights of stairs down and back up, i was told i missed the best part. oh well, what i saw was pretty too. we then played around in the humid air and i took a bunch of pictures of kelsey and mckendree goofing off.
came back to the room to review for my midterm tomorrow and ended up watching the black history month discussion on the tv. it was very interesting to hear people's ideas, both black and white and everywhere inbetween, of what black history month means to them. i then switched over and have been watching iron man. i'm pretty sure i've seen the movie about 3-4 times since its been on.. next movie please!
i'm off to bed, classes in the morning. planning on some sunshine time if it isnt cloudy tomorrow. hope you new englanders aren't too miserable in the snow.. at least you got a snow day!
much love, xo
sorry there is nothing too exciting in todays post, its been a quiet and sleepy day on the mv explorer. wait for the sea olympics post, i'm working on it. :)

hi! I hope you feel better soon sister! and I hope you still go to a Japanese baseball game because that sounds pretty cool even though I think both of us sort of hate baseball. I had a snow day today so I slept till 10:30 and stayed in my pj's till one. it was nice but now we get out of school for summer on a monday. which stinks times a lot. ok, I'm going to go clean and watch movies with momma. xox beck
PS- inescrat. hm, I'm really no good at this game. I can't think of anything, so I'll get back to you on that one ;)
hi! i hope you had a good day. i was thinking about you lots today because we had a snow day (14 inches of snow) and i accomplished nothing! i wish you were here to watch movies, be a waste of life and make the trek to hoco with me and take pictures of the snow. but then i thought why would anyone want to leave warm weather and the awesome adventure you are on and see all this snow?...you'll be able to see it next year.
so, enjoy some of the warm weather for me please! you're almost to india :)
miss&love you lots!
my word in reato? i'm with bec, no idea what that means
good morning.
we did have lots of snow (lane wins). here is a alugh for you...i heard Andrew and Rebecca running up and down the stairs this morning and got up to see them pulling out of the driveway at 7:06 so I called to see if they needed me to call them in late for school. Got both of their voicemails. Rebecca just called me to say no they wouldn't be late because neither of them had checked the TV and they had a delay. they are just came back from dunkin donuts. not in the best of moods. The word today is BUGED: what happens when you go to school on time only to find out there was a delay:( hope you are feeling better.
love,
momma
SOOOOOOOOOO.....I hear Geoff is missing me :) I have been goofing off, I cannot lie. Had a migraine the last 3 days of last week, so I got lazy.......I would be most grateful if my head would stop predicting the weather!! Along with CT, some parts of TN got 13 inches of snow - WE only got around an inch - not much consolation for a rotten headache!!
Tomorrow we are headed to Tuscaloosa for Doug to do some business and Aunt T to play with Caroline!! I am a teensy bit excited!! We will get back late Thursday nite. Bosco and Crickett are going to the doggie motel, which they LOVE!! How do I know? THey TOLD me of course!
TAKE THE MONEY FOR THE BALLGAME - everybody knows Japanese people cannot play baseball! This is a joke for all of you out there who insist on everything being politically correct. I am not PC, never will be, never have been - NO apologies - just lighten up!
Last but not least the word for today is PROSYLY. Now, I feel at this stage I need to EXPLAIN to your LAME brothers and sister exactly HOW I do this....the idea is that I RHYME(sort of) the secret word with something that SOUNDS like it means something - like this this case I would substitute PROBABLY for the secret word, i.e. - you will PROSYLY feel better when the sun comes out! The other option is to make the secret word mean what it SOUNDS like, i.e. - Aunt T has achieved the level of PROSYLY (PROSILLY) with her dumb word game! All it requires is lopsided thinking and a little creativity - both traits that all the Beardettes possess! So, now the jig is up, as they say - I have given away all my WORDSECRETS :) and I should PROSYLY get to my laundry pile. We love you madly and impatiently await the next installation of LAURA AT SEA. Feel better chica!! Aunt T (PROSYLIEST)
thanks for the advise Aunt T! let me try again... my new word is floig. like "flowing" but as if you have a stuffy nose? or like "flog" with a strange accent? hm, is the water under your boat floig? or are you just sitting still? alright, lame I know. I'm working on it (:
NO! It didn't post. so this word is vingeri. like I am vingeri(ng) around the house with nothing to do. :P
YAY Rebecca - you're getting there! You're brain is FLOIG with creativity, I can hear it and all it's stupendousness!! You may not VENGERI around the house, however, unless you are Russian or potentially German. Now, MY word is MENIZ, as in, it took me a couple of MENIZ to come up with this junk or...my name Hose heMENIZ. YOU may not get that one, but you can bet your antique parents will.......:) ALright - i'm off to kill some time - LOVE YOU!!! we're trying to figure out when we can get up there this summer and see your amazing face!! LOver and Out Aunt T
PS - Isn't Len engaged to VINGERI?
