Class Day "B20" at sea

Today is class meeting day "B20."

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)

We will be crossing the International Date Line sometime tonight and this is why we have a second May 2nd today.

We will advance our clocks by one hour tonight which will make us 8 hours behind Eastern Standard Time in the U.S.
