Synchronized Swimming

Today was day two of the Sea Olympics, which meant it was my time to shine in synchronized swimming. There were 4 of us and we swam to September by Earth, Wind and Fire. We did a disco style and we got the bronze (3rd place out of 10 teams!!!). I was very happy about how we did because we didn't get time to practice. It has been gloomy all day and very windy....meaning the pool water was FREEZING! It was so cold and actually difficult to swim in because of the rocking. A few of my friends got the video and I will try to post it at some point.

After synchronized swimming it was the lip syncing contest. That was hilarious! So many groups but in a vast amount of effort. After that we had closing ceremony and my sea got 2nd place in the olympics!!! WAHOO! I was shocked that we did so well. I think that mean we get off the ship second in Boston and have shorter lines in customs. But I don't wanna think that far ahead yet.

I found out my extended family assignment tonight. An extended family is made up of passengers of all ages and back grounds and make a ship family. We will eat dinner about once a week if possible. Our first dinner is tomorrow! I also sat outside and watched HUGE waves crash against the ship. I took some awesome pictures right after each other so you can see the progression of the wave.

I might not write tomorrow as it will be a crazy day! I will be preparing for 2 exams and finishing a paper. Classes are nuts! We are almost a third of the way done with our semester of class days.

2 Days till Barcelona!

Oh and I forgot to mention: we lose another hour tonight :( 23 hour days suck!
