December 26, 2012 – January 7, 2013
Happy New Year!! To all of you in Saskatchewan, I rang in
the New Year with you at 4am ship time while I was on watch! We had left Natal
behind 6 days before, on Boxing Day, bound for another Brazilian port: Rio de
Janeiro. Being the last sail of the semester, classes were coming to an end
which meant…finals! They started on January 2nd; welcome to the New
Year! Exams lasted only three days, but it was a long three days. It was hard
to find the time I needed to study in between watch and classes, and if night
watch wasn’t already difficult, staying up late studying beforehand definitely
made it so!
Once finals ended though, everything as so nice and
relaxed; we had no more school to worry about so we could just enjoy the last
few days of the semester. What a great semester it’s been! We ended it off with
another BBQ, lots of debriefing, then a crew night where we simply spent time
together on our last night as a crew. It was tough to say goodbye to friends
who won’t be coming back next semester; our semester one crew has had some
amazing times together and I can hardly believe that four months have already
gone by!
I look forward to the
adventures that semester two will hold, but in the meantime, we will have a
much needed break! I can’t wait to see my family again! ♥
