I should have been a mermaid

We are starting the registration process for students at my job and it has been a wild ride. I feel like I can't get anything done between the constantly ringing phone and answering questions.

 

I am so ready for a vacation. I should have been a mermaid.

 

We are taking a cruise to the Bahamas and I am counting down the days. Today makes 34. Have any of you ever been before?

 

I know you don't get to see nearly as much when you are on a cruise ship that docks somewhere, but I am still enjoying looking at pics of the Bahamas online.

 

 

This will be my first cruise.

 

We went to Saint John last year and I fell in love with it. We stayed a week and got to explore all of the island and meet locals. The people there are really what makes St. John so special, in my opinion. The scenery is to die for, but its the laid back lifestyle that seduced me. The locals are all so friendly and they live very simply. People that we met that were transplants from the continental US all seemed to share a similar story - they got tired of the corporate world and the 9 to 5 rat race.

 

 

This was after our excursion to the British Virgin Islands, so I am looking a little worse for the wear and tear.

 

 

I had my first Painkiller in the VI. I wish one would magically appear on my desk right meow.

 

 I got an email from a student and the subject line was "Registration Distress." I think that accurately describes what I'm feeling. (We just got a new system and this is our first time using it to register.)

 

Happy Thursday everyone!
