Last day on the ship - June 14

This was our last full day on the ship.  The students were engrossed in their finals and had little need for the library at this point, so Anne and I traded off every 2 hours or so, getting a few projects done but mostly taking care of packing our luggage in our cabins.  Anne is staying on the ship for two more days and had to switch cabins and I had to get all of my luggage and boxes packed up for the 3:30 deadline when they would be collected. We kept some belongings behind for our overnight needs but otherwise, the cabin was very bare by the time I had everything packed up.  It's a sad feeling, preparing for our departure tomorrow.  This time has just flown by!

Tonight we had convocation where the professors were given 60 seconds to say something profound to the students.  Of course, none of them were able to keep to the limit so it was a very long convocation!  But, eventually, it was over and we had a mock pre-port for Fort Lauderdale that was hilarious and poked fun at all of the other pre-ports.  It was a nice way to end the evening. 

It doesn't seem possible that it is over.  These 26 days have gone by much too quickly and has left me wanting more - which is a very good way to end this experience.
