Cruise!

This weekend the ETC sent us on a cruise. Why? Well, for academic purposes, of course!!! A cruise is a great way of finding out different ways that technology is utilized on a cruise ship for entertainment purposes. And we get to be the recipients of all that technology and entertainment!

Now that rationalizing the cruise is out of the way, let me tell you how it went. We went with everybody else from our class who isn't on co-op, and we left at 5 AM in order to get to New York City and get on the boat. We all pretty much slept there on the way there so we'd be ready to party when we got on the boat. When we got on the boat, we hung out a lot. We watched the boat set sail from NYC and got to see some of the sights before setting off into the ocean. We also hung out at the casino for a little while. Rob won $25, and Evan won some cash and casino dice keychains!

And what night would be complete without karaoke? There's nothing better than getting up in front of an audience and singing to your heart's content. Especially when there's 30 of you.

The next day we arrived back at port and then we got to spend part of the day in New York City. We got to see the sites, especially the most important site of all: the Nintendo World Store! Yes, we're all nerds, can't you tell?

We reboarded the bus and then headed back home. We got back around 11 PM, and we were all exhausted. We had spent more time on a boat and on a bus than on land over the past two days, and it had shown. We're glad to be back but we don't even get any time to rest! We get back on a plane tomorrow! When will this whirlwind end?
