Since the day was devoted to appreciating all the work the crew does for us, one of the suggestions was making our bed this morning (usually the stewards do it when the clean the room). I know it doesn't sound like it should be that complex, but it's a rather complicated bed and took me about 20 minutes to actually get it looking relatively decent. The other suggestion was that we bus our own tables. This was a good idea but with everybody putting stuff in the wrong places it probably ended up making more work for the crew. Otherwise it was a normal day of classes. We have one more class day tomorrow before arriving in Morocco on Saturday.
The afternoon was comprised of finalizing the Global Studies paper due tomorrow and a trip to the gym. The treadmill is getting a bit tedious (I did five miles today, you can only stare at the annoying red-dot display for so long) and it doesn't help that you're in a tiny room filled with mirrors. To occupy some time the other day I tired having a staring contest with myself but it didn't work out too well. This evening we had to signup and request seating for the upcoming Ambassador's Ball (supposed to be a rather big deal, don't tell anybody but I'm already dreading it) so it was pretty chaotic as I joined about 400 other students descending upon a few table setup in one of the more inconvenient locations on the ship. At least I have a table with people I know.
I just got back from the special event tonight, the crew talent show. The crew is from over 30 different countries and there was some really clever and interesting acts, mostly music and dance. Of course we had to close by singing "We are the World." Tomorrow we arrive in Gibraltar and bunker (refuel) for most of the day. I'll keep an eye out for some Gibraltar monkeys. That's all for now, I should probably think about that Infectious Disease exam I have tomorrow morning.
