Bottle 17 - Italy
May 17
Another sail, another day, another class, another entry: now. I have solved my calamity of computer lacking through the usage of the classroom computer. This makes sense; why didn’t I think of it before?
In English today Ms. Harris enlightened us with some travel tips from the author of the Alchemist. She grabbed an anthology of his, which I am hoping to read once she is done. Not going to lie, I’m stoked.
Chris left us today to his next adventure, something to do with break dancing I think. While he was here I learned a lot and had some really good conversations. Eh, good things come and go neh?
I guess ill leave this entry off with, 3 days to Italy!

Oh noes! Another delay? Indeed, our poor Concordia is fighting hard against a strong head-wind intent on impeding our journey. Last time I checked, her speed was pushing 2.5 knots; however I believe we are going slower now. What it all means: we will get to Italy late…
Paulo Coehlo, the author of the Alchemist, recently released his new book which I am now reading. It is an anthology of very short stories about his personal travels and his views on life. I do recommend it as usual, and I should remember the title by my next entry… Well… Give me a break, who remembers titles? I would much rather remember the story.
On other news, I discovered an interesting poem that I wrote a few months ago and promptly forgot. Upon the rediscovery of this gem I found that it isn’t half bad. So, ill type it up once I get the chance.
The future is rushing towards me and damn, it’s going to be hectic. Soon I will be graduating into life, leaving behind a ship which I call home. Soon I will be discovering what beauties lay north of my hometown. Soon I will be chilling with old friends, forgetting that I had ever left. Soon, I will be in university, becoming someone in this rated and ranked world. Soon, soon, soon: tis the words of a visionary nay?
The time past, once again class.
Oops
Ok, so I forgot to upload this in Italy due to the lack of internet there. Rather, it was more due to the fact we were there on a weekend. European companies take too many breaks…

“Having no possessions is freedom” is my new fave quote. I loved your pictures. Very nice indeed. Do well on the exams captain.
