The countdown...

So, today is my last day at work and it is very bittersweet... I have been realizing the I am not that good with goodbyes, but I guess theres no good way to say goodbye to those you love and will miss dearly. However, its good to know that I will be back in approximately 4 months and the adventure I am about to embark on will provide me with wondeful people and reconnections with old friends.

My trip will start in Nassau, Bahamas a few days early so I have some down time and reflection to myself. Once there I will probably soak in the sun as I leave the colder climate in NY. It sounds odd but people tell me how great it is that I get to escape the frigid weather but I kind of like it - not going to lie. The cold weather isn't that bad - the only thing I get worried about is slipping, which I have never had the pleasure.

As the time comes closer I have a few more things to take care of and do... grab dinner with some homies, peruse Duane Reade for any last minute thing-a-ma-gigs... especially in Yellow... since I was just assigned to the "Yellow Sea" - the Seas are similar to your "floor" for an RA... so basically, all those students who reside in the Yellow Sea area of the ship are my residents. I really hope they are ready because I have a few things in store for them, from community building to just making it the most outrageous, exciting, unforgettable living environment. I will continue to further explain the unique aspects of Semester at Sea through the blog so people can follow... but for now... the next time I post should be when we depart Nassau to head into the Amazon River and Brazil... lets hope I haven't gotten sea sick by then ;)
