Nothing too much happened this week on the ship. Everyone has just been panic with their Global Studies project as well as all the other woke they have to do. I have been hanging with the little kids on the ship a lot. Most of them are just really fun and precious. Specifically my LLC’s children Maddy and Sam, this brother and sister, Lizzie and Andrew Finn, as well as this adorable 4 year old named Silas who I call Huge Chubs
We had a shipboard sale going on this week. It has been a bunch of auctions for anything anyone wants to submit. The Finn’s submitted a trip to their family’s farm in Colorado Springs. This was part of the live auction. First off let me just say that people on this ship must be loaded because the things they bought for obscene amounts of money is unbelievable. Granted all the money goes to Financial Aid/grants so forth for the next voyage but still. Anyway, I really didn’t want to go to the live auction because I knew I would get too into it and end up spending money I didn’t have or something ridiculous. There were some good prizes like raising the flag as we come into port in Fort Lauderdale or reserved railing space to wave to your family as we pull in, and some other great ones like that, but they were just going way to high. The only thing I said I might bid on was the Finn Family Farm…and I did. I couldn’t help it. I ended up giving up to this one girl when she just hit a price I couldn’t afford to beat. It was probably for the best anyhow, I don’ t know when I would have ever made it out to Colorado. The family is just so sweet, however, that when they found out it was me bidding they opened their house to me at any time. Who knows I might just have to take a trip up there one of these days. So we are going to be in Brazil in a day and it’s bittersweet…it’s our last port. I don’t feel like I’ve been on this ship for 3 months at all and while I’m excited to go home I also never want to leave. :)
