Updates

Last week, I received an e-mail from Semester at Sea informing me that

the professor for history has dropped out of the voyage and his three
classes will not be taught. Therefore, I had to look for other classes
that will transfer for a history since that is one of my general
classes I still need for Ohio State. I got placed into Art History. I
had to order new books for Art History and the bookstore is refunding
for my old books. My books are now cheaper and I have less required
FDP trips, so those are positive thoughts about the switch of classes.
Last week, I also found out my pre-sale trips. I got into my first
choice for all of them, so that it exciting! Here are the trips for
now, I will also be able to sign up when on the ship for other trips.

For Christmas, I got new luggage and a camera for my voyage.

Today.... the packing began!!!

Today I began packing clothes and became very overwhelmed. I already
have one luggage full of clothes and so I have a feeling I will be
needing to take some out. I am planning on having one luggage for
clothes, and one for cosmetics, shoes, and FOOD! I am planning to
bring a lot of food so that I can bring some food with me into port
since I am the pickiest eater that anyone probably knows. This is one
of my fears for the trip, but hey, this may force me to eat things
that I never have before!

These are the only updates for now.

24 days until I leave for the Bahamas' 25 until I depart on the MV
Explorer (the name of the ship)!!!!!

This is a new shirt I got for Christmas!
