More Learning and Discovery

Well I have officially been to each one of my classes and I am pretty excited about the way that they've turned out! My International Short Story teacher is goofy and has made it clear that the class is very experimental. I also signed up to do a practicum led by him to meet an Indian writer in her home so that should be interesting! Today (On the ship we have A day and B day of classes) I had intro to drawing and Place and Space in Rhetoric. My drawing class was fun! We did blind contours of the people sitting next to us, meaning that we drew their face without lifting our pencils and without looking at our papers. You might be able to pass mine off as some sort of Picasso-esque type of portrait...but worse. My rhetoric teacher is a hoot! Clearly very liberal and Jewish. She speaks in a loud sort of scratchy voice and has already told us to be on the lookout since were always being watched on the boat.

I had a very interesting experience yesterday exercising for the first time. I never though that it would be so difficult! You are moving forward and backward while trying to keep your balance as the boat rocks back and forth! At least I'm getting a little something in! It seems that the most edible things on this ship are the carbohydrates which make exercise a must.

That's all for now!
I hope all is well with you! I only have 120 minutes of internet time (2 hours for four months...) so it is difficult for me to check my blog and see if you're commenting. If you have a comment that you would like me to respond to please email me at lvclopp@semesteratsea.net. Our on-board email account is free! yay!
