Our last day at sea...

Alright- Today is packing day and I am already packed.... I'll share a little of last night- The Alumni Ball.

It went pretty well, the champagne at our dinner tasted great (but that's because it tasted like cider) :]

I'll show you all photos of my dress- but just know...

The reason why I strongly dislike kids our age who can't control their alcohol intake:

I had bought a dress before this voyage- specifically FOR the Alumni/Ambassador ball, I won't bring up money, but let's just say, I got it from a Bridal shop- it wasn't exactly cheap.

Anyways- through a drunken toast, the kid next to me (George- here's your mention) spilled red wine all over my light yellow dress- needless to say I was not very happy. Most of it has since come out, and just about every girl in the vicinity of my table yelled at George and helped me clean my dress. (Here's a shout out to my dad for teaching me how to blot stains and not rub them in!) :]  He should have followed Dean Byron's advice and "Be cute- not STUPID!"

Anyways- all is well know, dinner was pretty good, and the dance was really nice- although I didn't stay long, knowing my luck someone would have stepped on my dress and ripped it :p

I cut my losses, and headed to watch a movie with some ladies.

All in all, not too shabby of a night.

It dawned on me yesterday, that as ready as I am to be home, I am going to miss Semester at Sea intensely. There really is no way to describe everything we've done. I can't believe I'm already an alumni of SAS.

Oh! Helpful hint to some of you going on this- hit the radio button on your TV remote- there are 2 radio stations other than Ch.1 on your TV (It would have been more useful if I knew this in the beginning).

On that note- there is only one thing left to say: This is to all my fellow shipmates on the Fall 2009 voyage of SAS

DO IT IN THE AFT!

:]

Catch you kiddos on the flipside.
