I thought I would give a brief update about “my friends” on this voyage. I often refer to them in my blog and they are a large part of my wonderful experiences during these past few months. We already talk about how hard it will be when December rolls around and we all venture off the boat back into our lives at our individual universities. We try not to think about that dreadful day and rather enjoy all of our adventures on the boat (and plan trips to see each other at our respective schools come next semester). With this said, I have met such an amazing group of people on this boat, a list which would go on forever. However below are brief descriptions of a few of my close friends that I am constantly with and who I typically refer to in this blog.
Amber: Well many of you obviously know Amber but just to introduce her to all of you who do not know her, Amber and I were roommates at USD last year. She is from Newport Beach, California and after spending a summer apart we could not have been more excited to start on our journey around the world.
Sarah: Sarah and I had actually met before Semester at Sea, one of her friends from high school goes to USD with me (Amanda Shaffer). Sarah has visited Amanda at school and I had met her then, thus when we found out we were both coming on SAS we were excited but we did not know each other well. Now we are quite close, the crew always asks if we are sisters or cousins. Sarah is from San Diego and goes to school at Santa Clara University.
Allison: Allison and Sarah knew each other before as they both go to school at Santa Clara. Allison is from Santa Barbara, California. I met Allison the first day on the boat randomly when Amber and I were exploring the MV and I saw Sarah who was with Allison. Since then, we have all been inseparable. I am constantly in Sarah and Allison’s room laughing, watching DVDs, or just hanging out.
Darcy: Darcy is from Wyoming and goes to school there. Allison and Sarah met Darcy randomly while we were in Brazil and we all hung out a lot in Cape Town and ever since then. We can are all commonly be found in Sarah and Allison’s room (laughing, watching DVDs, or just chit-chatting about our experiences) or on the 7th deck hanging out with our favorite crew members like Lazlo, Edguardo, and Miserm.
Lots of Love,
Maggie
