A day on the boat, with the archbishop.

This morning I woke up extremely late, it was around lunch time. I really have little choice on days with the boat rocking alot. Whenever I’m not lying down for too long I get sick. I had to switch back to a full patch instead of the half patch, the rocking of the ship has gotten a little too much to bear. When I finally got out of bed and after I almost fell over in the shower, I was surprised to find a special email. A Chapman alumni had arranged a special meeting with cake and a group picture tonight. First I want to note I get very angry when people try to add things to my schedule without asking me first. We had already scheduled a “special dining experience” for Sara Legrand’s birthday. If it weren’t for the last line of the email I would have responded with “NO”. We were to take a group picture for the Chapman magazine with Archbishop Desmond Tutu. So instead I responded with “Some of us are very busy, at what time will the photo be?”. Our dinner was absolutely excellent, if I didn’t feel nauseas from the motion of the boat I might have been even happier. We interrupted it with our photoshoot, I had to awkwardly say “We’re pretty busy, could we take the picture”. The photographer said “well if you want to tell the archbishop you’re too busy than tell him” I looked over and we started to take the picture. I find it amazing that no one seems to take responsibility on the ship, it’s as if everything is up to a higher power. I mean honestly just because we’re at sea that doesn’t mean we don’t have other things to do. I have a calendar and I have things to do, don’t treat me like a child. I’m still sad I lost my shoe… It’s difficult to dress up with sandals or tennis shoes. Happy Birthday Sara.
