Rock the Boat

Tonight was the first night of an event from the Special Events Committee.  It is obviously planned kind of on short notice, but it was the “Rock the Boat” dance tonight.  I think it is kind of hard for them to plan events because they have to include everyone on the ship – students, faculty, lifelong learners, and families.  So basically it wasn’t a normal dance with popular music – more like wedding music with lots of YMCA-type stuff.  Everyone pretty much hung out around the union and ate the free food before dispersing to various other nighttime activities.

We also discovered that they show movies on the TVs in all the rooms.  They change the movies every day but each channel has a theme.  There are 2 cultural channels (currently showing Spanish-related movies), 1 kids and family channel, and 1 popular movie channel.  It’s kind of nice to know that there is something to watch if you got really bored.

Now it’s off to bed for the first night without a time change in a while.  Got another full day of classes tomorrow and we are one day closer to Spain!
