Still At Sea!

So we're still at sea! we left sunday night and now I believe it's thursday so 5 more days until we see land. So what have I seen in the last few days, the weather has been a hit or miss, yesterday there was about 4 hours of sun time where I was able to splash on the tanning oil and lay on the deck to get some sun but then in the evening we started seeing 20 foot waves, sometimes coming up to the 7th deck which is a bit scary. Remember I can't swim! It's pretty rocky right now, students are running out of class and throwing up left and right...not a pretty sight but needing to be supportive you ask and offer your help. So the water is a mix of grey and blue, it depends where the sun is shining. if you look to the left you see grey but then to the right blue! interesting I think not!!! what else, so there are birds that live in the water before they fly, i did not know that. We thought we were close to land but the ships info says we won't see land for about 1700 more miles and we roughly cover 350 miles a day! There was also lots of dolphins!!! that was a pretty cool sight to see. They were in sync as they traveled together in a pack. The last time I saw dolphin's was my trip with Maya, Sue, Gary to the Bahamas but the dolphin's were part of a show and they weren't really "natures beauty". So that's pretty much all. Other than that, I love my residents, they are some of the coolest people that I've met. Makes me rethink my interactions with my residents when I go back to NYU and how to reshape the interactions to really engage in more meaningful conversations! sorry i'm using exclamation marks alot...okay have to run to class. While a requirement, it's kinda cool to be back in school in a sense. We have to take the "global studies" class that everyone takes but you learn and prep for the trip. Can't wait to see the first place, I feel like it's been sooooooo long since I left but really it's been about 2.5 weeks, odd!
