Day 26 - At Sea


The ship is rocking significantly again.  We can tell because we are exhausted in class, take naps all day, and can still barely sit upright at dinner.  The shipboard community is uniformly dreary today.

Between naps, I attempted to tutor my 8-year old student Ryan once more.  I had a very short assignment (if all else fails, lower standards), after which his parents treated us to ice cream.  I tried to spend some extra time with Ryan to get to know him or form bonds or whatever it is I’m supposed to do to connect with an 8-year-old.  He beat me mercilessly at Monopoly Junior, right up until the very end.  When I was completely broke, he finally pitied me and insisted on donating money, god forbid the game should ever end.
