Day 4

                We are already 1/3 done with our transatlantic cruise, and already we have made our mark on this ship, and it on us. From day one to now day three, we have eaten formal dinners with elegant music, danced the Foxtrot on the Vortex dance floor, won belly flop contests, and interviewed and enjoyed our time with many of the ships elder guests and hardworking crew.

                While this trip has been amazing, I am sure you are wondering where the actual “academic environment” exists amongst all of the festivities. In all actuality though, this entire trip has been a very special and education. Already in our activities and assignments in class, we have interviewed foreigners and crew around the ship, hearing stories of marketing to learning more of the culture of others.

               As the trip continues, we expect our experience to continue to expand and our knowledge of other cultures and environments to grow. Pictures will be coming, as soon as we get more connectivity

By the way, I would like to congratulate our Belly Flop Champion, Alex Livingston, also known as the King Flopper, and Marley Simonis our Name that Lyric Champion for their outstanding win for Berry College!

WELCOME ABOARD



Well guys, we made it.


     After months of waiting, watching, and ultimately procrastinating on packing till finals, we are offically only four days till we cast off to Europe.  I know personally I have been very excited the past week and have been ridiculously busy trying to get everything together for the trip while also studying for classes, as I am sure you all can relate.

So what exactly is all this for? Well, the purpose of this blog is solely to make this trip the best it can be by providing important information, updates, and opportunites that you can partake of while abroad this summer. Everything from train hours, dress code reminders, assignment due dates, daily agendas, and even Bingo nights will be posted and shared for your use. This information and reminders are being provided to make your experience as stress free and enjoyable as possible.

Now, just to be clear this site is NOT a requirement for this trip. You can visit the site every day, every other day, once a week, or not at all if you don't feel like it. This site is not designed to be a to be a burden or a commitment, but merely a fun and encouraged addition to the trip that you can use to your advantage.

I am currently in the process of building and improving the blog, so keep an eye out for updates! Feel free to share this page with family and friends, so they to can get a taste of your Study Abroad experience!
