Now, it is 6:52 am US Eastern time, and 7:55 am here in the middle of the Atlantic. I woke up at 7:15 and took a shower. I am almost ready for my first class. Oh! Man the ship is shaking. I am feeling unbalanced walking down the hallway. I look around and other passengers are also doing it.
Finally, I get into the Ecology class; my first class in the ship. Despite little seasickness, I am excited to experience my unique classroom. In this class, we talked about energy afterreferring the syllabus. Since, I lost my baggage, I did not have textbook with me. After approximately 1 hour, at 9 am my class ends. Now, It is time for the second-class, Global studies. My lack of balance gets worse and I feel very uncomfortable during this class. My head was shaking. I was seasick, though that wasn’t only me. I try to concentrate to lecture when professor was talking about top ten populated nations. I believe they are China, India, USA, Indonesia, Brazil, Pakistan, Nigeria, Bangladesh, Russia, and Japan. Since I was a little sick, girl near by my seat helps me with notes.
After completing Global Studies, I come down to my cabin. I take nice nap. After an hour, I moved out of my cabin and head towards information desk to ask about my baggage. The lady said chief James is not available at the moment so, I went to lunch. That means I did not eat breakfast, right? Well, I had good lunch.
Next I moved to cabin 6 to find someone for joining extended family. Extended family is like finding Life Long Leaners and become part of their family on ship. I find this is interesting. However, I do not find person who is responsible for this program. So, I need to find her may be later or tomorrow.
Then, I went to deck 6 to view ocean and chill out. It is so cold there; I miss my jacket! it is in my bag(which is missing). I moved down to SAS shop, and look for one hoody. On it is written SAS global education, and one t-shirt with all names of countries I am going to visit. It cost me around $64.
I go to process the purchase and I discover my SAS ID card is missing, which is very necessary in Ship to enter my room, or purchase anything in the ship. Oh! God, now another problem? Give me a break…I look over all possible places but do not find it. I went back to my cabin, my roommate Denial was sitting outside. I ask him key (his SAS ID card) to enter the room but he also left his card inside. I run to information desk and ask for temporary card. The lady there charges me 1 USD. I bring it andenter my room to search the ID card. I do not find it. All right. That is fine then. I went to information desk again to ask for help. Lady told me they would inform me, if they find it. Okay! She said I could hold on to this temporary ID card for 3 days. If not found, I need to get a new one, which cost another 25 USD. I came back to my room, search again but do not find it. Oh! Yea. I forget to mention about my conversation with Chief James. I talked with him about my missing baggage. He told me he hasn’t got any update from the agent yet. Still missing! I hope I will find my SAS ID card and my bag.
