holidays

So Christmas day on the ship? Well, I started working at 7:30 am. That wasn't fun. We had to help with the present distribution to all the kids. Then had a couple hours break. Worked again all afternoon and all evening. By the end of the night, I had forgotten that it was a special day.
So how does New Year's look? Well, my name happens to come up in the late night babysitting list ... with probably tonnes of kids. Oh well, I can let everyone else celebrate, eh? Oh, and as if that wasn't bad enough, I have to swipe (passenger's ID cards as they get off the ship) the next morning at 7am. May as well since I'm not partying, eh? (not that I volunteered). Take one for the team, right? Well, it wouldn't be so bad if I hadn't missed the last big party. One of the other girls had a b-day last week, and I had the same situation ... babysitting late night and swiping the next morning. Sucks.
Other than that though, things are good here. Today we were in Puerto Rico, and I quite enjoyed the 2 hours I got to spend there. It was my 24th country/territory. Tomorrow, after I babysit all morning, if I still have time to get off the ship in St Thomas, I'll have surpasses my age in countries/territories. That'll be my big celebration.
