Because we are traveling around the globe in the direction we are, we will overall lose an entire day of sleep.  As you can imagine, we have to set our clocks ahead almost every other night at sea.  So this morning, Lilli (my roommate) and I jump out of bed at 0815 and sprint up the stairs to get breakfast before it closes at 0830… turns out the time change got the best of us and we were 45 minutes late already and I have a class that begins at 0920.  Good thing the ship is not very big, so walking across campus to class isn’t a huge burden.

On the bright side (no pun intended) the sun is shining!

My plan for the day:
Wait for Global Studies to get done
Change into my Brazilian bikini
Lay on Deck 7 and do my Environmental Ethics homework
Eat Lunch
Class
Lay on Deck 7
Class
Dinner
Watch the sunset
Make Biology note cards
Do any other homework (this is a tentative schedule remember!)
Workout at 1000 during snack time.
Making Notecards (Maybe)

I know what you’re all thinking… and it really is a rough life aboard the MV Explorer….
