On a side note, I LOVE Holland America!
Ryan and I looked into canceling the cruise but we were 5 days late from the DVC cancellation deadline and found out we would lose 76 of our 208 points! I emailed the professors to see what they would say, but if it's a toss up between school and a vacation - I choose school. I will keep everyone posted, but I'm hoping my teachers will work with me and that it won't be a problem. 
Did you know that Holland America was originally White Star Line (only a change of name) and that they are the ones who called in and went to the sinking of the Titanic to rescue all of the people in the water?
We had said something like 3:00, but 2:30 could work too. I also don't remember which lunge we said, but promenade sounds good. I will have Ryan post and let everyone know for sure. I will also post about the bracelets in a day or so. Sorry...really tired and have a headache.
On a side note Kris - I had to email potential professors for next semester and beg them to allow me to miss the 2nd week of school with no penalty. The catalog came out for next semester and I was hoping to get around everything by taking online classes - but 3 of the 5 classes I need are on campus only.
Good night.
oops...late night for me, I had your daughter as 12 and son as 16......sorry!!!
Hey, they can still be friends, right?
Jessica,
If they drop two quizzes, you should be fine. Most professors evenly weight quizzes, so you won't end up missing any in the end. And given that it's the second week of class, I can't imagine you'll have any type of exam or other assignment of significance. Also, follow-up with them the week that the class starts. Remind them that you sent the email, are committed to succeeding, etc. Often times, professors come across as hard and inflexible until you're actually in their class. Also keep in mind that you're allowed to miss a certain number of days of class--usually one week, so you're not violating any policies and should not be penalized too harshly for it.
Labs might be a different story, but lets hope you have an understandable professor. You could also ask him/her if Oceaneer's Lab will work in a pinch. Maybe making Flubber will serve as a substitute.

LOL 
That's too funny, I needed that! The lab class I've chosen (and it's a good thing it's the one I wanted to take because it's the only subject/course that works in my schedule), but it's Astronomy! I could argue that being at sea I can see more stars and constellations than they can on campus! What do you think?!?
Jessica - just keep plugging along with positive thoughts and it will fall into place. You 2 have put a lot of time & energy to make our cruise the best and I can't imagine you 2 not being there. It will work out.
I hope everyone is avoiding the bug going around. We are plugging right along but I know it is kicking our butts! I'm keeping up but just not posting much. Actually hoping that we can get down to DLR for the Holidays. If anyone is planning on being at the parks we are looking at Dec 10-12 and doing whatever possible to get Candy Canes Saturday!
Later,
Sue
Where better to apply astronomy than watching the star from the Wonder? I have a star tracking program on my phone; we can have a lab one night on deck after the Pirate Party. Problem solved
That sounds awesome!
