We have built walls all around ourselves ...

... had a total of 71 students before Sara and I arrived this semester. He has seen the ship many times but I showed him my room and then we went to the dining hall to get a peanut butter and jelly sandwich on Krishnan's request.

At 12:30 am on this Friday, March 11th was the EXACT halfway point of my trip (this is ...

Door de schreeuwende schipper werden we weer op de boot geroepen wat echter niet zo simpel was; We moesten al onze spierkracht samenbundelen om alle passagiers opnieuw aan boord te krijgen; Na deze zware inspanning vielen onze oogjes toe en onze snaveltjes dicht.
