Exhausted But Excited

Today was the big day, the students boarded the ship and we set sail for Bergen, Norway. It was filled with excitement knowing that within every step the students took while wandering the ship or meeting new people, there was a common experience. You look a residence hall and you may not get this type of excitement. Aside from running around, meeting residents, we hit the waves again and as I type the bed is shaking. After finally getting all the students on board and most of the luggage, we set sail at 7pm or 1900 hour. We had our first sea meeting that's how the divide up the deck and I'm in charge of the "caribbean sea". I have about 87 residents in my sea and I feel like an RA all over again at opening day. I think of them I have about 15 names down but I still have lots to do. I'm in charge of running our activities fair, I'm pretty much in charge of an OSA type project. I help to set up clubs, run our large programs, and advise the students. I have a student who is already interested and will be putting on a production of the play "a doll house". We have college bowls, talent shows, and many fun events that I have yet to come up with. I'm going to crash any minute now. They extended the internet into the room, but i'm still going to try to limit the use!
