It was SSOOOO wonderful to have a day off today! The weekend was quite long and it was wonderful to be able to sleep in. I love sleeping in.  The ship was rocking a LOT though so it made sleeping a little difficult but i managed :)
Swim lessons started today.  They were fun and very interesting.  The pool is built in such a way that it is very very easily turned into a wave pool if the ship rocks to much.  And today it was rocking like crazy! needless to say, the swimming part of swimming lessons didn't last very long.  I think that i'm going to have to be very creative with how to teach these guys.  the pool would go from being 2 feet deep to 4 feet deep every couple minutes. I will try to put up some pictures of the pool tomorrow.
Tonight was also French class.  I would like to say i learned a lot but i think i feel slightly more confused. it's a LOT of information in an hour and a half.  So i think the biggest learning will come in doing homework throughout the week.
In other news, a canoe tipped over a little ways from the ship and we sent our rescue boat to go help get the people out of the water.  I was asleep when it happened so i just heard stories from other people who were around for the actual event.  From what I heard everyone was rescued.
I don't really have any other news...this is Emma signing off :)
