So, I get to live on a boat for almost four months. Obviously there are some potential downsides (sea-sickness, mundane food, the crowds) but there might also be a lot of interesting perks. So, I looked up my new home starting August.
In terms of it being a floating university, this ship has a Student Union (below), two dining halls, one large pool, a workout room, a faculty lounge, 9 classrooms, a student merchandise store, a computer lab, a study area and a piano bar (what?!).
I'm not yet sure what kind of room I will get, but the word on the street is that profs get their own rooms and the nicer ones at that. I hope I get one with a balcony (can you imagine the sunsets!?) but I will probably have a nice window, which would be lovely. Honestly, I'd be happy to sleep outside on a lounge chair if it meant I could go on the voyage!
