The next 9 day we are on the boat, our home. This is the longest span of time that we will ever be on the boat for which is really exciting! We have class every day but 1 which is the sea Olympics. This is the time where everyone is really falling into their group of who they are going to be good friends with for the rest of the trip Stephanie and I including. Of course we are together in the same group of friends.
My cousin Stephanie and I are roommates and we have always been friend being that we are only born 20 hours apart but as we grew older we saw less of each other. Now we are on this amazing ship in a little room together and we have become in separable! Our one friend calls us cousintry while most ask if we are apart where our other half has gone. We are having a great time together and really getting to know each other. <3
Sea Olympics - Day 7 at Sea! – Let’s go Mediterranean Sea!
Green Team – You know
The sea Olympics are a day of fun and games and unity on the boat. It’s a good time for all and a way to break up the 9 days on the boat where we have straight classes. On the 6th day at sea we have opening ceremonies. This is where we display our banner and do our teams cheer and a few speeches are given. It’s all in good fun and it’s very loud!!!!
There are games such as crab soccer, volley ball, basketball SAS (horse), tug of war car stacking trivia and many more. However, I did not sign up for any of those events, I signed up for the main event which I did not realize it was until the night before. I was in the synchronized swimming event. The entire 7th deck was cover with students watching a recording us as we were the first event to go on and perform. Our routine was with 6 people. Stephanie, Maria, Kelly, Colby, Scott and myself and we did a dance and swim to the song Wannabe by the spice girls. This was absolutely hilarious as we had only practice twice and we were only given 2 days to come up with a routine. We had a great time doing it even though the night before we were all regretting signing up for it. As soon as we did it we realized how much fun it was and we could laugh through the whole thing! We ended up getting 3rd out of 10 teams so all in all I think it was a success! And we even go barbeque for dinner which it was amazing to have ribs, burgers, and hotdogs, along with countless bowls of ice cream!
Check back for more soon as I will be in Ghana where Stephanie and I part ways for the first time………….. : /
