I was so busy yesterday I still haven't recovered yet. I have to get up before six to get to the dining room to set up breakfast. Luckily, my room is directly underneath the dining room so I don't have to walk across the whole ship early in the morning. (The bad part is that I can always hear banging from chairs and people walking around). I met my team leader Kevin who takes care of the dining room while the Head Steward is doing other things. He has a very thick accent (he's from Togo) and his English isn't so great so I have a hard time understanding him unless it's quiet and I listen really hard so I couldn't figure out what he was telling me to do.
I had met another person who works in the dining room named Uta the night before so I had to keep asking her what I was supposed to do. We get two-hour breaks in between breakfast and lunch and lunch and dinner. I honestly don't remember what I did on either of my breaks yesterday. I had a meeting with the Head Steward Ernest at 3 so I really only had one hour to relax before I had to start getting ready for lunch.
I had to leave dinner early because I had a mandatory new crew member meeting at 6. I was the first person there and I just collapsed into a chair to wait until the meeting started. The meeting lasted two hours and by the time I got out I was falling asleep while having coffee with my friends.
And I wasn't even able to fall asleep quickly when I did go to bed so I feel cheated!
