Day A3

A days are not as busy as B days.  I only have one class, work, and meals.  So I usually spend my time studying and trying to play catch up on my required reading.  For a little over two hours today all I did was read and I think that I am finally caught up; at least until tomorrow.  Today I did some of my reading out on the aft deck.  It is very cloudy and gray out and it is almost hard to tell where the water stops and the sky begins.  It was a little windy and I had my sunglasses on but still by the time I went inside for lunch my eyes were a little sore.  One of the things I read for anthropology was from a book of articles that we each have.  This particular article was about the rituals, taboos, and fetishes of baseball.  It was actually kind of interesting.  Lunch today included French fries! (Some of us were very excited about this).  Lunch and dinner still have the same basic items that I mentioned earlier and I know a few people who are getting a little tired of the monotony.  I don’t mind yet, there is always some kind of sandwich if you don’t like what is on the buffet.  Yesterday they had Italian subs that were made out of really long loafs of bread and then cut into small sandwiches.  They were, in my opinion, really good although I still ate from the buffet and only had the smallest piece of sandwich.
