Class Day "B12" at sea

Today is class meeting day "B12."

On the agenda for me is the following:

• Sit in on the Global Studies core course that the entire ship "shuts down for" daily - it is held in the Student Union area of the ship with the lecture being broadcast on the closed-circuit TV system of the ship to the various satellite classrooms on the ship for those students who can't fit in the Union (Time:  0920 - 1040)
• Teach "Cinema and National Identity" (Time:  1415 - 1530)
• Birthday party event in the faculty/staff lounge (Time: 2100 - 2300)

We will cross the equator again this morning.

We will advance our clocks by a half an hour tonight which will make us 9 and a half hours ahead of Eastern Standard Time in the U.S.
