Day 16 – Sleepy at Sea

Sept 13th

Dazed and Confused…
I spent most of the day zoned out from lack of sleep. The day started with Global studies where we learned about power struggles over oil in past and present history. My professor seems to have the impression that China is going to rule the world and America is fucked. We’ll see how that goes. By far my favorite class Psych of Food was awesome as expected. We’re learning about the biology behind food aversion and taste preferences. After some homework, I lounged on the pool deck and gazed at the sweaty boys working out on the fitness equipment. It’s kinda awkward, but all the weight machines are on the top deck due to lack of space in the real gym. I learned a new card game called spades and became the automatic winner of the game when I brought the boys a half-eaten pizza from another table because they were too afraid to get it themselves. We were also playing with this girl who has already taken 7,000 pictures on this trip! I have no idea how that happened! After they saw me nodding off between hands though, they all convinced me to take a nap. Gladly, I obliged and ending up taking a 12 hour “nap.” Once again we had to advance our clocks since we loose another hour of sleep.

Highs and Lows
My “high” was my power nap. My “low” was taking my power nap through dinner.
