All aboard

Since I still have a lot of stuff to do around the ship and continue to struggle with nausea and my so-called “sea legs”, I’ll be succinct.

About the ship…
It’s the fastest passenger ship in the world, but most of the time we’ll go much slower than it can so that we can actually take some classes.
It’s about half the size of a cruise, but still pretty big.
It has seven floors, each named after a Greek god, mine is Dionysus, which is the third floor.
The internet has pre-Jurassic speed its horrible.

About the ship’s population…
There are 581 students, although there is space for about 640, so some of us got lucky and received two pillows instead of just one. Hurray!
There are 25 professors, 6 women and 19 men.
The captain is from Croatia, trained by the Croatian army and a bit intimidating… he is called The Master, which reminds me of LOTR.

About my room…
It’s windowless and pretty close to the motor engines… that kinda happens when you get the cheapest option.
My roommate’s name is Julia and she’s from Colorodo, we are not going to be best friends, but she’s nice and mature, so I don’t expect much trouble from her.

Diana, should we comment in English or stick to our usual language, Spanish?

By the way, let me use this opportunity to congratulate you on your English writing skills. I'm quite impressed.....

I absolutely enjoy reading about your experiences aboard the ship. I find it fascinating,,,,and keep thinking about everything that you are NOT going to include in your blog.....all the experiences that are not going to be shared..... Me tengo que conformar por lo menos con leerte de vez en cuando y gozarme esta aventura desde mi escritorio aca en Miami......

Diana, sigue escribiendo que yo voy a seguir leyendo.....

Un abrazo y muchas bendiciones,
Anita

hehe, puedes escribirme hasta en frances si quieres. la razon por la que estoy escribiendo en ingles es porque estoy tomando una clase de liteatura de viaje en la que voy a tener que hacer articulos de los paises que visito. Como los pienso publicar aqui pues queria tener cierta uniformidad en terminos de las entradas.. a ver que historia me queda el final.
