Not Enough Hours in a Day

But really, there aren't! Since we've been losing an hour almost EVERY NIGHT, SAS students are basically living in terms of 23 hour days.Tonight we lose another hour. We lost an hour last night and the night before that and the night two nights befor that.  Right now it is 3:10 pm. So by signing up for an 8am, I sorta signed up for a 4am that will eventually turn into a 2am or 1am. !!
 
All is well at see. We passed the Azores (sp?) and tho I was in class and didnt get to see them, it is comforting to know that we are only about a day away from land now.
 
Something funny for my York friends: you know that Redmans Lake water thing in York on the way to the MD border? Well there was randomly a picture of it in my water treatment book. No description. No explanation. Just a picture of York. So strange!
 
I just got in from laying out - its getting colder outside! Our global studies teacher actually told us he saw it snowing yesterday so I didn't lay out but as it turns out, he just saw the foam from an upper deck that the crew were cleaning....
 
Last night I participated in the ship's Amazing Race. It was basically an 8 person really really hard scavenger hunt. And more than half the boat played so things got real intense real quick. My team's name was Team Team. HAHAhAh we thought we were so funny.
 
I have not been sea sick since that one time when I was just really hungry lol but I do have a rando rash on my back! Which appeared the one day i WASNT in the sun. And its getting itchier and covering 40% of my back. So I'm just not gonna let it see the sun for a few days and I'm gonna wash all my clothes and hopefully it goes away! My guess is maybe the detergent they use on our sheets? Because I got it the day after they changed them...typical me!
 
We have out midterms in either 2 or 3 days and then we pass through the Strait of Gebralter and see the rock with all of the apes on it and THEN! We finally! port! in! Barcelona!
 
Well that is all for now.
