My new best friend!

Well, as I've found out, life at sea can be lonely at times. There are 32 people on board, but since the ship operates 24/7, everyone works different shifts. Scientists are mostly 0400-1600 and 1600-0400, engineers can be 0600-1800 and 1800-0600, deck crew are 0000-1200 and 1200-0000, and officers have really crazy 4 on, 4 off watch working, 4 on, 8 off schedules.

Due to all these schedules, you don't see everyone all the time. Some people you only see if you hunt them down! So I really needed a new friend. I was feeling a little uneasy at times when life was rough on board, I didn't have the energy to work out, and mealtimes just weren't as fun as they should be. Luckily, I found a new best friend!

* DRUM ROLL PLEASE *


Dramamine!

We've been rollin' and pitchin' and heavin' a lot more these past two days, and dramamine has come into my life and given me new meaning! Yay for new friends :)

editor's note: I've actually made new friends other than Dramamine haha!
