Here we go!

So everything went smoothly today. I arrived safely in the Bahamas and I'll be boarding the ship tomorrow morning. The last few days were quite hectic for me trying to get a lot of last minute things done before I left, as well as stressing over whether or not I forgot to pack something. Knock on wood, I'm well-prepared. I did not get much sleep last night due to fears about the flights or losing my luggage. But since it all worked out, I think I'll be sleeping like a baby tonight. I met a few students also on Semester at Sea (SAS) that had the same connecting flight as me in Atlanta. I lucked out having two seats to myself in the plane, so both flights I read "Mieses Karma" (a book in German, titled "Bad Karma" – it's quite funny). So now that I'm here I'm going to start exploring, rather than stay in my hotel room. Tomorrow should be an exciting day because I get my roommate and will be meeting a lot of interesting (I'm referring to the good connotation) people! Wow, I'm about to embark on a Semester at Sea Program! :)

Later gator,
Matt
