Class Day "B11" at sea

Today is class meeting day "B11."

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)

Update:

We passed by the island of Diego Garcia at around 10:30 am today (it's about halfway between Mauritius and India).   According to the ship's channel that shows us the route and speed of the ship, we will be going around the eastern coast of Sri Lanka in order to get to Chennai.

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