Go Ninja Go Ninja Go!

This was our “mini” cheer for my sea- The Bering Sea! We picked the color green as our sea color and called ourselves the Bering Sea Ninja Turtles.

Sea Olympics was a hilarious and exciting day! There were about ten or twelve events such as hot dog eating, find the m&m in the pie, human knot, jeopardy, pizza making, work-relay, Olympic relay, tug-o-war, and more. I was the judge for the workout relay. One of my “sea” mates did wall sits for thirteen minutes, it was incredible! I also judged the hot dog eating contest, which was absolutely disgusting. At least three people were sick after eating around eight or nine hot dogs in five minutes. Thank gosh I had not had lunch prior to this event!

        Every sea had extraordinary spirit for their sea- it was great!!! Since my color was green I wore my green pants, green sneakers, and a green bandana that I bought in the store =)

At the end of the day they announced the winners. There was one prize for winning the sea Olympics. When we arrive to Miami in December the sea that won is able to disembark the ship first. The Bering Sea was extremely close to first place, but the Yellow Sea had a few more points then us. A few of my friends are in that sea, so of course they had to rub it in that they won. Oh well second is still great and I had a fantastic day!

        My favorite part of the day was singing our cheer: (to the theme of ninja turtle song)
                SAS Bering Turtles
                SAS Bering Turtles
                SAS Bering Turtles
                Port Side On The Fourth Floor!
                Bering Power!
All right then! The ship did a great job of making all the students forget that they have midterms in a few days! Wow I can’t believe it is October and I am able to study in my bathing suit =) I love the Southern Hemisphere!! Although, I do miss everyone up there in the Northern Hemisphere...Love to you all <3
