Today is class meeting day "B18."
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)
- Combined Cultural and Logistical Pre-Port Briefing for Japan (Time: 2000 - 2100)
Update:
Random stuff...
- Apparently Desmond Tutu is going to be interviewed by Brad Pitt in Japan for a Vanity Fair article.
- I am debating with myself whether I will go skydiving in Hawaii.
- I won't be making any updates to this blog while in Japan because the buildings in Kobe apparently block the satellite. My general plans are to go to Kyoto the second day I am in Japan (on a Semester at Sea trip I'm leading), then go to Tokyo for days three and four with some resident directors from the ship and then to Hiroshima the last day with them as well. We apparently won't be able to get off the ship tomorrow until about 1:00 pm, so I'm just going to stay in Kobe and go to get my Japanese rail pass validated as soon as possible. I think some people from the ship will probably go out tomorrow night as well so I will join them too.
