Spring 2015 - Day 95

Today I woke up late and had the sudden urge to clean everything. So I did. I organized all of my drawers. I did laundry. I put things away and as a result my side of the room looks cleaner than it ever has. I’m pretty proud of myself, I never clean.

I had fancy dinner again tonight. I had it with my group of girls and Philip. We planned it a long time ago and it was a good thing we did because they announced that all the fancy dining spots were filling up.

It was just as good as it always is but the best part was that, in the middle of the meal, we saw dolphins.

Dozens of them. They were swimming and leaping out of the water right by the ship. They were so close, it was magical. Everyone in the room ran to the windows and had their noses pressed up against them for at least 5 minutes.

It was such a treat.

What was an even better treat was that Jessi left fancy dining early to go work on her papers some more so Annie and I got to split her lava cake. Extra cake is always a treat.

After dinner I changed and then went to the Union. They were showing the movie The Killing Fields, which is about the Cambodian Genocide. I had wanted to see it since going to Cambodia.

The movie started at 9 and was accompanied by the thumping base from Glazer lounge that meant the Arabian Sea was celebrating their shipboard drive win. It was annoying.

I sat in the movie for almost an hour. But it wasn't speaking it me. It wasn't what I thought it was going to be about and I suddenly wasn't in the mood to watch it.

So I went back to my room and just burst into tears. I am not entirely sure why. I think its because I am feeling really lonely. I had to go to the movie all by myself and had no one to sit with and whisper about what was going on. I’ve gone to the movies by myself many time but for some reason it just hit me a weird way and I got really sad.


I am really ready to go home. I wish we could just skip right over Morocco and head to England. I am ready to be done.
