Well its not Swine Flu, but it sure felt like it....

A common stomach flu has been ravaging the ship, condemning many Cadets to a 24hr bed rest. Last night I too fell vicitim to this very flu, and let me tell you, it is not a pleasant experience. But I am sure it will pass by tomorrow, and I will be back to doing what I had been doing before, which wasn't much.

The past few days have been interesting even without the Flu. Two days ago I got the chance to work with a team of Engineers on the Port engine, which is probably as big as my house. That same night we had Bingo night... yes bingo night. I didnt have very good luck that night so hopefully that will all improve by the next one. I never knew you could be bad at bingo...

Yesterday word was passed on to us that the ship no longer has State Department clearance to enter Mexico, and as of now, the ship will be reverting to San Diego.... which is a drag seeing as that is where I will be spending all of July. But who knows alot can happen over the next 6 weeks, but I will keep you updated...

later days,
