These past few days have been almost to good to be true. The ocean is beyond pretty and I keep having to remind myself that this is actually real, and its not just a big dream. The water goes on for miles and miles, the sun is so warm and comforting.
The first few days of sailing were not that bad, a bit of rocking and getting used to the ships movement. But of course when you finally get used to something, it changes. Last night the rocking changed from side to side, to up and down. It almost feels like you are in an airplane, with air tuber lance.
This past week i received my acceptance letter to St Stephan's University, into the Bachelor of Arts program, with my major being psychology. Not only was this my top choice school, but i didn't even know i wanted to go to it the most, until i was reading the letter. The school offers two travel terms, one in 2nd year, and one in 3rd year. I will be starting in January 2013, and still be able to go on the travel term in September 2013. I have been blessed with this decision, as just a couple weeks ago, i was beyond stressed about which school to pick, when to start, if i could travel. But now, by little things, it has all come together :)
Being on the ship while sailing, has really put into view, the amazing beauty of God's amazing creation. He made all of this for us! What did we do to deserve this? Really there is no answer. I am so glad and blessed with being able to see the amazing view from Deck 8, and also not be sea sick at all.
Working with the kids this past week, was amazing of course. This weeks theme was m..mm..m.. good :) Food Themed :) the kids seemed to really enjoy it, we played games, scavenger hunts, relay races with marshmallows and jello. We also played capture the flag up on deck 8, so pretty :)
We only have one week left with the kiddos! Time sure has gone by way to fast, next week, with our planned arrival sometime on Monday, we are hoping to do many field trips to end the summer program, going to a beach, and a beautiful pool. Then there is a group of us planning to climb a volcano Saturday, after i say goodbye to my two roomies, they are the remaining two that have been here since i arrived.
Time is going, nothings stopping it. I still have over 100 days in Africa, and don't even want to think of the count down yet..
