Orientation

8-30-08
We had more orientation this morning, then had some down time to configure our computers and internet. They told us that we were going about 75 miles off course to avoid the storm Hannah that was happening nearby. Then over the loudspeaker later on we heard that our next destination is San Juan, Puerto Rico...when it is scheduled to be Salvador Brazil. Turns out, we are just stopping to fuel up!

At lunch today my roommate Andrea and I sat down with three other guys and we discovered we are all in choir! Us choir people must have a magnetic attraction to each other! We’re going to try to sign up for the Indian music choir on the ship...we met the professor this morning and he was so enthusiastic! Someone said they typed his name into Wikipedia and it said he’s written books and must be somewhat famous!
