Today is class meeting day "A10."
On the agenda for me is the following:
- Teach "Mass Media Systems Around the World" (Time: 0800 - 0915)
- 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 "Intercultural Communication" (Time: 1045 - 1200)
- Cultural Pre-Port Briefing for Mauritius (Time: 2000 - 2100)
Update:
Luckily, I didn't have to participate in the cultural pre-port briefing as a speaker tonight. There aren't any chapters in any books I have about Mauritius and it seems no one on the faculty knows anything about Mauritius. They recruited Julie, the ethnomusicology professor, and Joyce, a history professor, to speak in the pre-port tonight which was fine with me because I didn't have to prepare anything.
We will advance our clocks by one hour tonight which will make us 8 hours ahead of Eastern Standard Time in the U.S.
