One Day Down.....

......65 days to go.

We've come to the end of the first day.  The boat is rocking making everyone look like drunk idiots falling all over themselves (I guess this is where 'sea-legs' comes in).  Although you have to be pretty friendly when you're running into people you've never met before in the halls (literally running into them).  Lots of kids are getting sea sick and there are a ton of preventative drugs around.

They gave us a ton of stats about people on the boat...here's the few worth remembering:
-there are roughly 1050 people total--708 undergrad from 20 countries and 49 states.
-there would be one more person but they didn't make it on time...so bye bye to them
-the majority of people are from California, then NY/Penn, and Colorado is around 5th.
-the largest school represented is...........CU Boulder (all together now.....*booooooooooooooooooooooooo*) - but really there are like 40 Boulder kids here and we feel highly out-numbered.  We'll let you know if we have the guts to ask them about the Rocky Mountain Showdown in Boulder last year...."oops was that you're home stadium??"


Tomorrow is going to be a long day.  We have meetings planned basically throughout the whole day with times blocked out for meals.  Most of the day will be orientations and other informative meetings.

The general feeling is that if you aren't getting motion sick from the rocking ship than it's putting you to sleep.  We'll see how classes go when we have the sway of the boat lulling all of us out of focus.  Speaking of classes, those start Thursday.

Until then, I hope everyone is having a lovely time at their respective locations.
