SAS Auction (August 4)

When I woke up, I grabbed my books and started cramming! I didn’t have time to get breakfast, so I ate a snack in my room before I left. I took my 2 tests, then went to the gym and did my elliptical, StairMaster, and P90X abs again. I wrote a paper then headed to dinner.

After dinner was the shipwide auction. The Silent Auction had been going on all day and was just closing, and now was time for the Live Auction! I don’t exactly have money to spare right now, but I did want to go watch. It was so fun! There were 20 items being auctioned off- everything from steering the ship coming into Boston, a week-long stay in China, a world map signed by Captain Roman Krstonovich, a PILLOW signed by him (everyone on the ship considered buying this…), a weeklong seaside stay in Nova Scotia…you name it! There were three different auctioneers and they were all quite entertaining. Some people really seemed to have money to spare- prices went so high for some things! But that's good, because it was a fundraiser and was to help make Semester at Sea possible for more people. Anyway, it was a really fun night and I’m glad I went.

And to make the day even better, we gained an hour tonight!!!!!!!! :)
