I cannot believe how rocky this ship is right now. We had our first run with costumes today and I literally was the MOST graceful!!! NOT! Haha But anyway, I just have to laugh it off because there is only so much I can do to make it look good, the rest is up to the ocean J So much for beveling! Now, I am just trying not to stand like a football player in a pretty gown.  Not only am I having to get used to the rockiness of the boat, I feel like I am singing in the Sahara desert. Hopefully I get better. Haha, One day at a time! After the run, I had a lovely lunch and sat out on the back of the deck and just took it all in. I really do have the best job in the world. When it all comes down to it, I look around and see all of my Indonesian and Pilipino friends who are staff on the boat working 13-15 hour days. My heart breaks for them. They are all such sweet people! And I have learned so much about them in this short amount of time. I love learning their culture and language. They are good people, and it is a blessing to get to know them. My cabin steward (yes I know, it’s ridiculous that I even have one, but really nice) Safwan and the other one on the hall, Sam were teaching some of us numbers today. I was also telling to Sam yesterday and he said he misses his family a lot. I cannot imagine how hard that must be. Almost 10 months at sea doing the same thing every day, wow. But it really makes my day to talk to them, they are great! Anywho, going to yoga under the stars tonight and probably going to have a gourmet meal….what is this life????
