Hey, I’m back—finally!! It feels like it’s been so long since I posted and a lot has happened, both in my own life and in the general world! Of course, by “the general world” I mean the Swiftieverse, but you guys already knew that. It’s so exciting to see The Eras Tour begin over the past month, and see tons of clips of the different eras. I’m definitely okay with seeing spoilers because they help to hype me up for when I get to see her in August. I still have to get through the school year but all I can think about is TET! Aghhh!
And, on top of that, she fricking announced Speak Now TV! What?!?!? Is she trying to make me fail all my classes by taking up 100% of my brain mass? Seriously, I’m convinced she’s trying to kill us all. Hearing that Nashville crowd go absolutely berserk was exactly what was happening in my brain. Anyway, I can’t spend my entire post talking about how T. Swift is trying to give me serious medical conditions; I have to actually tell you guys what’s been happening in my life.
I took my AP Psychology exam on May 2nd, which I’ve been prepping for throughout the past two months, basically. I felt pretty good about it, but we’ll get my scores back in July, so plenty of time to nurture my anxiety and convince myself that I failed the test! Yay!!
After my exam, we spent a few days relaxing in Recife, then packed up the boat and sailed for two days to an island off the coast called Fernando de Noronha. The passage was a little tough, just because we haven’t sailed in a while and Cleo left while we were in Recife. That means Dafne’s crew is down to only three members, which makes my watch schedule longer. I definitely felt a bit overwhelmed by the added responsibility, but we still have time to find the right balance. We’re planning to only spend a few days in Fernando, then head off on a two week passage to Tobago.
However, we’ve encountered some maintenance malfunctions in Dafne, so my dad is trying to fix those before we start that passage to Tobago. I also have some school and classes to catch up on, so that’s what the last few days have been. I do like being on passage, but it’s going to be tough to try to do school on passage these next weeks. Ugh. I wish I was in the US going to Taylor’s concerts every night. Well, at least I can live vicariously like all other international Swifties!
