Tired at Sea

We lose another hour tonight so we will be behind 7 hours EST now. I'm getting ready to go to bed soon but I figured I would type a quick post. It's hard to get anything done around here. Between the time changes and the rocking ship I don't do a whole lot. I didn't really do much today besides class, and made a pretty cool drawing in my art class that has an ostrich in it. I saw whales and a dolphin today! I was pretty excited. I tried taking apart my camera a little more since I have been having trouble with it too. I am still hopeful I can make it brand new again. I didn't get shocked this time at least. Oh I forgot I didn't mention that...I got electrocuted from my camera a couple days ago. It was pretty crazy, I've never gotten shocked like that, but I'm alive and well and my camera still works. I am in the process of making some repairs... (Yeah like I know how to do that)

They replayed Archbishop Desmond Tutu's speech on our closed circuit TV today ...here's a quote I took from it, from what I was talking about yesterday...

"There is something that is very beautiful about human beings ...there are some awful awful things about them but that is not the most important thing ...you are in fact a God carrier ...did you know that? Did you know that you are of infinite worth? Because you're a God carrier ....you are a stand in for God ...if we had the right kind of eyes and we looked at each other, we would be dazzled by what we saw."
