The First Mistake

Ship life has been great so far!

Bridget and I went to bed at 9pm and woke up at 8am- motion sickness meds knocked us out. still no seasickness though!

Amazing to wake up and look out our window at the rolling sea. We went up on deck and it was gorgeous and pretty warm.

Today there have been lots of orientations but they also broadcast them on the mini tvs in each room. So currently Bridget and I are in our beds and half listening to the boring orientation stuff.

The mini tvs play 2 stations: 1 that is semester at sea which shows where the boat is and how far we are from our next port (kind of like what they do on airplanes with all those stats) and the other channel is nbc! (i think thats what the Olympics will be playing on? so hopefully we can watch them!!!!)

Classes start tomorrow. I am taking a biology, finance, English, and religion class. I will be able to post about classes tomorrow!

Now onto the first mistake:
Last night we were getting ready for bed and setting up our email and wireless. On the screen we found out that we have a 2 hour limit for internet. Internet here is SLOW- slower than any internet I have ever used in my life, but we were fine going on Facebook and letting things load for 2-3 mins for each page, knowing that we would have 2 hours to use the internet. We were hanging out and on the internet for about 45 minutes last night- slow going but at least I had some connection with the outside world.
This morning at breakfast Bridget and we were sitting with some people and started talking about how the internet is slow- but its all good because we have a 2 hour time limit and thats plenty- even with slow internet. Only then on of the girls says, no, 2 hours per semester………So all in one night i have used almost half of my internet minutes for the semester.

Well- this is all a learning experience…..
