This morning started out with nothing going really to plan. I had planned on getting up early and going to work out with Chrissy. I apparently slept right through that alarm. I woke up at my normal time, got ready and had breakfast. By then, it was 10 and I had no idea what to do since I didn’t have to work. I went by the crew office to rent a bike to ride to the beach with Milan and Erich (from the photo dept), but all the bikes were claimed for the day. I went upstairs to see Charlotte in the library, but she was at Bingo. I then decided just to go to Club HAL and help out with the rest of the morning shift. I got there just as they were starting to make bracelets. I started making another one, but then realized that I needed safety pins to do it best, so I ran downstairs to grab them. I met Justin (HAL Cats drummer) in the hall and we agreed to watch a movie in a few minutes. I ran back upstairs, taught one of the girls how to make the bracelet, then went back down to watch a movie.
After the movie, I went up for lunch, then back down to wait until we could get off. I’d planned on waiting for Jessie and going with Kassie and her to the beach. After the drill (which I know Jessie had to work), I didn’t hear from her; Matan had been calling to ask about going and he was getting anxious about time since his band played later in the afternoon. So, Matan, Kassie and I went. I left a message for Charlotte to give Jessie if she called since Charlotte had IPM.
Kassie, Matan and I met up with Erich and Milan (from the photo dept) at the beach. We lay out in the sun for a while before getting in the water for a bit. It was kind of cold so I didn’t stay in long. Kassie had to leave to go to a meeting for her internship and Matan left with her. I stayed with Erich and Milan since I didn’t have to be back to work until 7. Erich and I talked for a bit, enjoying the sun, but then we decided to build a sandcastle. It was a pretty great sandcastle (especially since we didn’t have buckets or anything). I started to dig down to make a moat. I had to dig pretty deep to get there. By the time Erich and I finished the castle and dug down to water, we had a fan club gathered around us. There were quite a few kids on the beach with their families and they all watched us dig and shape the towers on the castle. They helped out a bit too as we dug more on the moat, it was pretty fun. They spoke to each other in fast Spanish, then to us and we would attempt to respond (I ended up responding in French, haha). They were rather impressed, but we had to leave before we finished the moat. I wonder if they finished it for us after we left.
Erich walked with me back to the ship since he was going to meet Milan, Milan’s girlfriend and some others to go out to dinner later. I changed quickly and went up to work for the first time today. I arrived a few minutes late, and there were 5 kids waiting for me. It was movie night, so we picked two movies and immediately started one of them. It was the easiest work night ever: eating popcorn and watching Kung Fu Panda 2. After work, I went down to the room to wait for Jessie to get me so we could go back out before we left.
We went out and I got dinner while we played cards and chatted. I’m going to miss that girl, she’s probably my best friend on this ship. After I finished eating, we came back to the ship and hung out in the OB with most of the crew. It was a fun night, we played quite a few card games and talked to a lot of different people.
