interior cabin room. There were two twin beds, a cramped private bathroom with a shower, a boxy closet for hanging clothes, dresser cabinet, and last but not least a mini TV. I was upset there was no window to let in natural light, so we felt claustrophobic. We didn’t let the small room bring us down; we knew we would be super busy with activities so there was little time to waste in our cabins. We started the day by going down to the Sea day brunch to eat up. From huevos rancheros to loaded mac…

uneasiness among certain passengers, to the point were people who got fully clothed to bed. A particular passenger, “A young english man at our table had been served with his ice cream and was waiting for the steward to bring him a spoon to eat it with. He looked ruefully at it and said he would hate to have a torpedo get to him before he ate it”(234). Lucky he made it alive.

The result is a collection of 10 tracks, mixing the introspection of the night with…

relaxed by the ocean. I sit beside the vast ocean, watching and listening to the tides as they repeat highs and lows. This is a time when I can reflect on many different aspects of life. I stare at the water, wondering what or who is traveling on the ocean beyond my view and where they may be travelling to. I think about how lucky they are to be on the ocean, surrounded by nothing but pure, blue water; total relaxation. I envisage what lies on the ocean floor. Could it be valuables from…

The hustle of every-day life takes place underneath the surface of the ocean instead of on land. The shrinking ice caps that David Kramer talked about in the Physics Today magazine have all melted. “The melting of the Antarctic ice cap may have reached the point of no return and threatens to raise sea levels by more than three metres, according to a new study.” Now the world is covered in water. There is no longer land available to live on. Phil Pauley designed a self-sustaining dome for people…
