Back on Board

So one night I walked in to the student union (where they keep all the music instruments I discovered) hoping to find some people to jam with. To my amazement, there were people setting up the drumset and guitars already. This had never happened before and I was so lucky and excited. We ended up jamming for the next 3 or so hours. Its great, because even though some of the instruments are a bit run down, they have a huge ethnic variety, especially drums.

By the time we were done it was already 12:30 AM and I had class at 8 AM, so I decided to go to bed... then I realized that the time was changing and it was ACTUALLY 1:30 AM... oops. The next morning I ended up having 5 glasses of the watered down coffee they give us on the ship.

Oh and I'm really excited because I'm going to get to help build a house in South Africa with Habitat for Humanity... how cool is that!?

One of the last nights I went on deck at like 1 AM and sat down to watch the sea. Its actually kind of spooky at night when its dark and no one is around. There is such a feeling of emptiness and helplessness looking out into the dark ocean. While I was out there, some lightning was striking way off in the distance. It lit up tiny portions of the sky and make the clouds glow, almost like a firefly would light up the night.
