Queen Mary day 6

Another great day! Woke up to just a little bit of clouds and you could see the storm we were going around in the distance. By the end of my watercolor class it was sunny and gorgeous! I am on the sunny side of the ship this time (though the sun sets on the other side) and I had my door open and enjoying the warmth and sun all day! It was gorgeous!

I did wake up late today, just after 8, so I had to decide if I would go try and swim without eating anything or skip it and try later. Well I decided to skip it cause I normally leave my room at 8 to swim and well I wanted to make sure I made it to my class on time. So had a lazy morning then class was so crowded! Every table was full! I think it was 42 people!! I ended up sitting just across the aisle from where I first was, but facing the wrong way, and somehow I was fine. I don't know why where I was sitting would make me sick, but I should have tried moving earlier! Oh well.

When I got to class today and saw what we were painting I was like eh, I don't really like that, but I will do it just to paint. And while making my cardinal I kept hating it and thinking it looked awful, but by the time I was done I absolutely love him! He is so happy! And the background I adore. I think it is better than the example one as the example had all these berries and stuff and it was too cluttered. I love my happy little cardinal!

I kept working on my painting and taking breaks to read or walk around on deck. I did try and swim, but every time I went out there were a ton of people in the pool. I guess that is what you get when it is so nice out! Yesterday was rockier (they said 3ft waves which is still a lot smoother than going to the states with the 10ft ones) and barely any wind. Though it calmed down a lot during the day and once again I cannot even tell we are moving.

My trivia team did fairly well today. I knew a lot of the answers and helped out with 2 movie ones that they didn't know at all. They said they didn't know films when I joined their team and they really don't! One was who played Neo in The Matrix and they had no clue! So I got our team a couple of extra points :)

Since I didn't swim I thought I would go dancing a bit this evening. It was a masquerade ball where you were supposed to dress fancy, but there was a bar I hadn't been to yet that was having a band play and you didn't have to dress up as much so I thought I would try that....only I got there a bit after it was supposed to start and there was literally no one but the people working there! And no band playing music! So no dancing for me. Oh well, I had a good book to read instead. Tomorrow I might try and get another project from my teacher as she has one for after I get off the boat as she is staying on a bit longer and try doing that myself. We shall see.Leggi altro
