I haven’t posted in a while since things have been so busy and tired. If I’m not collecting samples, I’m filtering, running the samples, helping others with random tasks, or analyzing data (on “off” days). And I’m definitely not as busy as others seem to be! I’m not sure how some people are still awake and haven’t gotten sick!
Tonight we played “Settlers of Catan” and I went up to the bow to check out the sky. It was a bit treacherous getting up there in the dark with the ship rocking and really cruising (+ 12 knots). The wind was also blowing fairly hard so that added to the danger. We saw some waves splash into the starboard side and decided to head back in on the port side to avoid the slick walkway. It’s the first time I’ve seen a wave splash up that far on the ship!
I haven’t been sleeping well due to a combination of the mattress, a busy mind, and waking up constantly. I’m excited for land and a large, comfy bed. Oh, how I cannot wait for the luxuries of land. And home.
Everyone on board has hit that point of “getting over” the ocean within the past few days and wanting land again. 10 more days… and 10 more days of being 24! Ahh! Land will be a pretty great birthday present.
