The boat has not stopped rocking. Dressers and chairs are constantly falling over. Drawers fall open and slam shut. All the students look inebriated walking through the hallways because we can’t help stumbling and falling into walls. They closed the gym today because of the weather. Apparently a student was injured on one of the machines (I think you can guess which one that was). The captain informs us that the heavy swells (about 10-15ft) are due to the storms off the coast of California. We arrive in Hawaii on Monday, so hopefully we can all hold on till then, literally!
ANNEcdote
1/22/2010: Today I took a tour of the ship’s “bridge”, which is where the captain operates and controls the ship. The tour guide informed us the MV explorer is equipped with two torpedoes. Watch out pirates.

Follow me as I leave the University of Virginia for a semester to embark on a life changing adventure. In the next 100 days I will sail with 700 students through 3 oceans, port in 10 countries, and gain an invaluable global perspective. Stay tuned for my once-in-a-lifetime experiences and imminent follies as I depart on my Semester at Sea!
