HEYYYEYEYEYY everyone right now i am in ESPANA!!! land of spanish ... i am stealing internet from some cafe hehe well now that i am off the boat i can upload pictures so let me do that real quick before i start writing (sam that picture is in spain and in-front of the boat 1/12 of my mission is complete!!)
hahaha kay now that i got those all uploaded i can write FIRST OF ALL HOW SKETCH is my id...they took my passport photo hahaah its wicked funny and that panoramic picture is a view off the back of the boat and then black and white one is my room and then my bathroom for the testonis

BOAT LIFE: living on the boat is SO SO SO SO SO SO SO different than i thought it would be first of all the boat is amazing...i mean we watched obamas inauguration live on tv via satalite hahah and we were all like cool were in the middle of the ocean witnessing history haha it was funny to us  anyway now that we are on land we all are getting the spins because were so used to our bodies moving all the time that i think i might get land sick hahah...classes are mildly hard because there are so many distractions on boat i mean literally you could spend all day on the back deck hanging out by the pool and get absolutely nothing done...I SAW WHALES!!! a whole pod of them from the back of the boat - they did not jump or anything but i saw the tops of them and one shot water out of their blowhole!!! i geeked out!!

the people: everyone on board (with the exception of one) is really really cool and CRAZY like hahah i thought i was bad some of these people are wicked intense...but its cool i mean everyone is from all over the country so its just fun to meet people not only from around the world but around your country...there is about 200 cali kids...there freakin everywhere :)

well right now i am in spain like i said and i will update you guys on spain before i leave because i just got here!!! but so far i have been very impressed with like talking to people ... i have gotten everything i wanted using spanish so i am pumped about that and while its kinda cold its no where near you guys so HA ... sorry to be obnoxious
