I just got back from filling out 9 forms to disembark in each country. It took us 45 minutes and I should have my passport # memorized by how many times I've written it. I also found out today I have to fill out a form for the Ambassador's Intercultural Committee. There were only 12 of us at the first meeting and we made our next meeting for tomorrow, yet somehow there are now 40+ people on the distribution list. We just had to write paragraphs on why we were interested, what skills we can bring, things like that. Also, if you all are interested, there is a slideshow for our voyage embarkation in Nassau. It is on the SAS website... http://www.semesteratsea.org/news-and-events/press-releases/watch-a-slideshow-with-audio-of-fall-08-embarkation.php
I'm on it one time obviously but a couple other times my head is popping up somewhere :) We have this MV Explorer tv station (we don't really have tv just whatever the ship wants to play), and right now there is a Brazilian movie on, but it seems very violent from what I've seen. Ratatouille is on tonight though so my roommates and I will be watching that. We are very excited for land Sunday and plan on stocking up on food. I ate a PB&J and orange for dinner so some snacks in our room will be nice. We are still waiting on our forms to see if we got the trips we wanted for the first sale that took place onboard. That's all for now... thanks for all the comments yesterday, very appreciated! :)
P.S. Debra, what's your daughter's name, I'm curious if I know her. Tell her I live in 3001 in a quad if she ever wants to stop by and say hi!

Hi Lis, I am so so proud of you! You will be great as an ambassador for the program. Don't you already feel so responsible and independent? I can't wait to hear your feedback on the places you're visiting and everything you'll experience.
P.S. Don't eat too much PB&J before adventuring. I can tell you from the Belize experience...bad idea...
hi lisapisa, i just saw your SAS video and i've never seen so many smiling faces. i saw you laughing at your sideways photo on your SAS pass card! A couple quotes from the video just sums it all up.... I'm grateful and thankful that the Lord has allowed you to be part of this awesome voyage... right here, right now, you are the star! and... Take yourself outside yourself and become part of the real world... I can see you're already making the best of this great opportunity lis. you are the star! (remember your twinkle star part in the play?)
And don't overdo the pb&j, i hear the brazilian food is excellente!
