Today was Turkey day!
It was actually not an exciting day at all. However, we didn’t have class, so that is always nice. I was able to sleep in this morning which is very relaxing. I missed breakfast in the dining hall as a result. I went to my pedicure which was much needed. It was very relaxing and made my feet nice and smooth.
 
I decided it would be a good day to try out the breakfast that they have at the pool deck, and it turned out to be quite good. I had a croissant with eggs and cheese, but they make an omelet and put it in the middle of the croissant.
 
We then had a mandatory lecture to watch today. It was regarding the culture in Turkey. I thought that it was going to be boring, but it ended up being interesting. She gave us a lot of good information regarding behaviors, the culture, and even food.
 
I then decided that I would so some homework. The only homework that I had to do was sketching, so I got to work on some of my drawings. I’ve come up with a good way to do the drawings that seems to be making it a little easier for me. I print out the picture that I’m going to use in black and white and then tape it on to the page next to the drawing. It works because it’s in black and white, and we sketch only in black and white. I’m able to figure out value a lot better. It seems as though I am making some progress with my drawings.
 
After working on that for awhile I got bored and decided it was time to become a zombie. I popped in a movie and relaxed in bed for a few hours.
After dinner, we had a mandatory pre-port lecture just like always. They told us what to expect safety wise and informed us that we would have to carry our passports with us at all times. That’s always a little scary, but since I am not an idiot, I don’t have to worry too much.
 
I went to bed early for my exciting day to follow!
