So in the last few days the weather has gone from rocky to soothing to rocky. I feel like a baby in a rocking chair or crib going back and forth back and forth causing me to feel nothing but a desire to sleep sleep and sleep. Last night we had our first talent show and first large program after a night of monitoring 400+ students at our "pub night". They are allowed up to 4 drinks per night. So we stand, we mingle, and we make sure they follow the rules. For the most part the students on the trip have been great. This experience has reminded me of why I love doing what I do. It's just interesting to be back in the halls again when NYU's system is so unique in its setup. The talent was hilarious, we have piano playing (without sheet music), guitar, dance, poetry. A wide range of raw talent. I also advise the various student groups and that's really cool, I enjoy these student initiated events.

so enough about work, how's david doing? I'm doing great, while its hard to stay in my room for long periods of time, i'm pretty into a routine, getting 6-7 hours of sleep a night but then the day just goes and this job by no means is easy. I feel challenged to think about how I do things given the limits and resources that I have on the ship since we ain't getting any special deliveries from birds or anything. 

My first stop again is in Bergen, tonight we should be passing the tip of Ireland and England, and we'll be in on Tuesday at 8am. I have some trips planned including hiking, city orientation, and meeting some of the locals. It will be interesting to be in a place that I finally don't speak the language of. It's really expensive in Norway so we'll see how much eating out I do, but if someone could send me some pad thai with no bean sprouts that would be greatly appreciated. While the food is not bad on the ship, David's high taste buds is really itching right now. I can't believe it's only been 2 weeks, if feels so much longer than that!
