Sea Olympics!

We had one day of class and the next day we didn't have class because of sea olympics!! I am in the Adriatic Sea and we were color pink. We all made banners for our sea and I have to say that ours was the best even if I did help to make it! On the morning of the Olympics we got to sleep in but not for too long because we had a mandatory life boat drill. We had to get up, get dressed and put our life jackets on. This drill went much better than the last one because everyone was really quite and in there lines and not wanting to get yelled at by the Captain! After the drill we had some time before the games started.

We had lunch and then openning ceremonies that the Captain attended and officially began. We all had our colors on, cheers ready, and ready to start the games. We had lots of different games like, pictionary, tug of war, academic bowl, relay race, pool relay race, boat race, synchronized swimming that was so funny! We had lip sync and make over. Make over and lip sync were my favorite to watch. Make over was one guy or girl from each sea and it was almost all guys. They took their before picture and then had to completely change their apperance. They had 15 minutes and when they came back the guys were in swim suits, formal dresses, sun dresses. They were complete with make-up, heels, nail polish and even some had shaved legs. It was so funny and all of them were into it until they were done with judging and sat down and then realized what had just happened. All the guys started saying "get this off of me now" who has nail polish remover??" It was great and they were really good sports about it all. The results can in and the winner of the games and your placement in the games determines who get off the ship first when we get back to the states. Our sea tried hard but placed last. It worked out though because I know that I won't want to leave and this way I will be able to say goodbye to all of my friends. After we had a cookout to celebrate the games and relax and enjoy great food with friends. It was a really fun day and great day with no classes!!
