Happy Thanksgiving!!!
Well I just received all sorts of news about my trip. I am going to be coordinating the efforts Diversity and Spirituality programming for our Student Life team. I've very excited to be piloting this new position. I also found out that I will be the RD for Deck 2 on the ship. I hear that the folks on Deck 2 usually develop a tight-knit community b/c there aren't many folks down there. I'm looking forward to it, but also a little worried, b/c I hear that the lower you are in the ship, the more likely you are to get sea sick. (Getting sea sick is one of the big fears Ive got about a 100 day voyage, yikes!). Plus, I'll also be the only RD on Deck 2. I know that I'll be fine within about 20 minutes of being on board the ship, but still makes me nervous since I won't have any "partners in crime" on my deck.
Speaking of my fellow Student Life staff members. They seem like a really fun group so far. They sound active, and sporty, and well travelled... and also sound like they are really solid student affairs professionals and big social justice advocates. Just my kind of people. Can't wait to meet them, and all of our students!
Wow... A little over two months away. Yikes! (again!!)
Well... until the next update...
Be well.

Drew: 2:40am-wow you keep late hours. That will come in handy on the voyage! Say, I want you to know that being on Deck 2 is a huge compliment to you-I thought you had such great ideas about building community-that you would be the perfect fit. I'm worried about sea sickness too. My doctor just prescribed patches for me-hopefully that will help. They also say that ginger ale can help! Your blog looks great-I've never done one before either-so we'll learn together. Happy New Year! Beth
