3 DAYS TO BARCELONA!

The seas were really rough today. People were throwing up all day. I guess I don't get motionsickness anymore. I haven't been affected at all...well, except for occasionally walking into the walls.

The last two nights a bunch of us grad students got together with some of the faculty and life long learners to play "Ham Chunk". The game is so much fun and I can't wait to come home and teach you all :) But for now, you'll just have to speculate why it has such a weird name.

Today I met with my "extended family" for the voyage. Semester at Sea organizes this for people who want to make connections with others on the ship. Its usually one or two grad students, faculty, or lifelong learners paired with 5-6 undergrads. Families meet every now and then for dinner or 'game night' to catch up. I guess I am the "auntie" I have four nieces. Its nice.

My professor is trying to recruit me to do my doctorate at Kent State next year.......its definitely something to think about. What do you guys think?

  1. Sharon's parents went to Kent state, you should ask her about it. I know it was a while back but I am sure they'd answer an email of questions.

  2. I went to Kent for a Fall semester, you know that. I would definitely come visit. It is a nice area, 30 min from Akron and an hour from Cleveland which has many things to do. I have a video I took when I was there, next time I see you I'll bring it so you can see a little bit of the campus. The professors there were very nice and helpful.

    Funny story: I was in a class and a professor said that she was so honored to have a student of color in her class, and I was just confused looking around cause everyone was white. Then a few minutes after looking at the door to see if I was missing someone I realized she was talking about me! I asked the girls sitting next to me, "Wait, is she talking about me??"
