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.
