Day 4: Halifax

Going to be seeing a lot of these!

Between the sea sickness, the millions of things to do in my new role, and the lack of sleep (we're going to have many, many 23 hour days ahead - starting to think the Spring voyage would have been a smarter choice) I am SPENT!  I don't know if I "have my sea legs" yet, or if the patch behind my ear is just made of magic, but I am starting to feel like myself again. One thing is for certain...I like this ship a lot better when it's not moving.

I'm working with a great team of energetic, helpful people and that is the only thing keeping me from losing my mind in the midst of constant schedule changes and conflicting or lack of information.  We sailed into Halifax this morning and our work-study students boarded early to help us get ready for the rest of the 600 students who board tomorrow!  I'm very grateful to have the extra hands on deck, because with 81 residents in my area, I'm going to have my hands full...especially when they will all be as sick as the faculty and staff were on our first day at sea.

Tomorrow night we set sail for our 7 day crossing of the Atlantic!  Wish me luck and sea legs!
