So last night we had our first official SAS talent show, super exciting. There were actually some amazing people who sang, and one guy who played a mean fiddle, who was from guess where Dana .APPALACHIA. Hahaha I know, but actually he was amazing. There was also an amazing (insert heavy sarcastic intonation here) performance of Bad Romance by Lady Gaga, complete with one-piece swimsuit and half naked men as backup dancers. Quite the entertainment, and dont worry, I got a prime video. All in all a very entertaining evening. Today we had a reading day with no class, and I laid out all morning. I didnt get burned because I smeared 70 spf ALL over my body but still managed to get a pretty substantial tan line in the course of about 3 hours. The sun at the equator, plus the fact that were floating on a body of water, is super intense. I am a representative of the Baltic sea (our hall) for the Sea Olympics, so I had a 2 hour meeting today to plan the opening ceremony and the events. It was fun, Ive been getting to meet so many different people through clubs so Im glad I volunteered for all these things. Tomorrow at 8 am we port at Manaus, about 1,000 miles up the Amazon River into Brazil. Molly and I are going on a service trip into the Amazon jungle, where were going to help build and paint a school in a small village. Its going to be quite an experience! Ill be offline for about 4 days, but you should all email me so that I have tons of messages when I get back. OH and I realized I never gave my email out to everyone, so here it is: fdsalisbury@semesteratsea.net. Yay!
