Grapes and Atlantic Waves

Last night I was dreaming that we weren't actually on a ship, but rather a train, and we had reached some country that couldn't afford to put railroad tracks all the way through, so we had to use the roller coaster tracks instead. So there we were, on this massive roller coaster, twisting our way upside down and every which way. Somehow I fell overboard, and that was not a concern, because we have really advanced technology to detect should anyone ever fall overboard. The concern was finding a supermarket and stocking up on food before they discovered that I was missing and found me. So I was scrambling around, dodging the train that was tracking me, trying desperately to buy food at this convenience store before they picked me up again.

I woke up to the ship swaying more violently than we've yet to experience. I guess that explains the roller coaster dream. It was actually kind of nice because work was dead. I guess I've yet to mention anything about my work study. I work in the field office, which is the office that handles all of the trips you can buy through SAS. This also includes all of the FDPs, the trips required for classes. It's been a complete nightmare, because there has been an insurmountable amount of confusion regarding what FDPs people need to be signed up for, and what to do because they booked this super expensive overnight trip that conflicts with this little day trip they need to pass their class. So anyway, everyone was seasick in their cabins when I went into work this morning and I had to deal with relatively few people.

And now, an update on the food situation: they brought out grapes at lunch today!!! All I ever think about (well not really) is how much I miss my morning quart of grapes from Whole Foods. It was the best meal I've had aboard this ship.
