Class Day "B5" at sea

Today is class meeting day "B5."

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)

The ship passed to the north of two islands in the Atlantic this afternoon - one was called Ilha de Trindade and the other was Ilha Martim Vaz.

We will advance our clocks by one hour tonight which will make us 4 hours ahead of Eastern Standard Time in the U.S.
