Quarantine

March 9, 2011

After working in the gallery Whitney and I decided to hang low and watch some movies on tv. After getting to bed late and getting up early for work we decided to get some much needed rest.

My roommate got up early this morning saying she wasn’t feeling well and went to the infirmary to get checked out. After a few hours in the gallery my manager came and told me she was put into quarantine because she had flu-like symptoms. Now the ship has very strict regulations for the crew and guests when it comes to feeling ill. For the crew it is highly important that you see a doctor when you start feeling ill or start throwing up. Anything like these symptoms can be disastrous on a ship with the close quarters. So now that she is quarantined, I cannot go into the room but one time to get my belongings that I’d need for a few days. I was transferred to a guest room for the time that she is in quarantine. Here is a pic (from my pns, thank you very much) of my temporary cabin.

With the looks I’ve gotten, not many people get put in quarantine. I told a couple of the people I hang out with what happened and that they moved me to a guest cabin and I get these surprised looks. I guess lucky me. We were even thinking about a small party in my room.

Got the news about the tsunami and about the warnings for Hawaii and California. Luckily, we were south of the path and didn’t even feel a swell from it.

By the way, I liked being in a bigger room and not having to use a ladder to get into bed, but it was so boring. I didn’t have my rommie to talk to or watch movies with, or even to have a drink with. I got into a little bit of trouble tonight with some people, which I blame on my rommie. We try to keep the other out of trouble and knowing me...trouble finds me whether I like it or not. But its all good now.

I got woken up early due to text messaging from the family. After sending a short text, I quickly went back to sleep. Thanks sis. Today was a long day. I had gallery in the morning, set up early afternoon, SGK photos, our last formal portraits, and the b&w ball. Got to bed and read some till about 12. I tried to go to bed early since I had to be at the gallery at 8am.

My roomie is still sick, but hopefully she will be better tomorrow. It is getting unbearable in the big room by myself.
