It’s been a while…

Don’t worry, I’m alive everyone.  Just been extremely busy.  Not just with work but also with my social life.  It seems as if I’m rarely actually in my room anymore.  Working obviously takes up the most time as we all work approximately 70 hours a week.  Then the free time I do have is spent mostly with E.  I really don’t know where to begin when explaining what I have been up to.  I’ll just bullet some of the cooler things I’ve done recently…

• Spent a day with E at Atlantis, ate at a restaurant called Anthony’s and walked around enjoying a nice morning/afternoon off.  Sat around on the beach for a bit and just talked and watched the people walk by.
• Went on a walk up to the Queen’s Staircase and an old fort on a hill in Nassau.  Waterfall wasn’t running at the staircase but it still was a great time and enjoyed every minute of it.
• Went snorkeling at Castaway Cay and saw a stingray and burnt my back.
• Went to the Magic Kingdom early in the morning one day with a small group and, of course, had a great time.
• Went to Hollywood Studios for a Recognition trip because our department scored amazing on the cruise survey.
• Have had many late night Nassau’s because our scores have been ridiculous.  The last late night was just a few days ago and went to the Outback Steakhouse and then out to a few bars, ending on Deck 5. 
• Saw the premiere of the Disney movie Earth in the theater on the ship.  Interesting movie, great cinematography.  If you saw the Planet Earth series then it’s just like that.
• Was on the Crew Olympics Dodgeball team, which we took Silver…should’ve been Gold, but…well, oh well.
• DJ’d a night at the Crew Bar.  It was a “Back To School” Party featuring 90’s songs…however, after the 3rd song a guest in a stateroom complained about loud music from below his room, so we had to stop.  But luckily we are having another night to makeup for this in a few days.

There are quite a few pictures up now on Facebook of some of this stuff.  If you don’t have a facebook account then you’re just out of luck for now.  But I’ll try to upload some on here sometime too.  I’m feeling brain-dead tonight, so this post is probably boring and dry.  I’m struggling for material.  But all in all I can say I am thoroughly enjoying my time on the ship.  I’ve got a ton of new friends who are in the same boat as I am (no pun intended, har har har), and we are all so supportive of each other.  The 8-9 team is also amazing and we are all so different but yet, we fit together so perfectly.  Then on top of that I am so glad I have met the people I have and have gotten to know E and spend so much time with her especially.  Alright, well, I’m going to go grab some tea at the crew mess then head on out.  I’ll write more later when I’m actually in a typing mood.  Cheers.
