SAS Alumni

In the past week I've met with three different students who have been on Semester At Sea . Every initial concern I had about the voyage has been laid to rest. Here are some of the fun tips or ideas I've heard from the past travelers:
        -Wake up for the sunrise as you come into each port
        -Eat outside for every meal on the boat, enjoy the view!
        -Always have your camera on you
        -You'll barely spend any time in your room
        -Bring a world map for classmates to sign at the end of the trip
        -You don't have a cell phone, so sticky notes are your main source of communication with your peers
       -You can sleep when the two months are over!!

I'm just finishing up the majority of my finals and will move home on Friday, June 8th (Happy Birthday Katie) and within minutes head to Natalie's high school graduation. On Thursday, June 15th, I'll speed down to Eugene, take a biology final, and 12 hours later I'll be flying out to the Bahamas!
If I've learned anything in the past three years, it is that time flies by in the blink of an eye. That being said, I plan to do as many activities as possible and meet many new friends. I'll definitely remember what the alumni told me, you can sleep once you're back in America.
