Drive Me Crazy

KIM

As I get into my quarters so many things come back to me. I remember how I looked at everything around me the first time when I was on a ship for the first time. Everything was new to me and I felt like a brand new penny. But this time it is different. This time I do not even want to unpack my clothes because I am afraid that we might not stay long on this ship.

It is dark outside and I do not see the ocean the way that I saw it the first time. Everything just feels wrong, like I do not belong here. But I know that I should man up and that I have signed up for what I am doing now. I put my bag down and then I take a seat on my bed.

I know it would be the best thing to do to get some sleep before we have to get off the ship again. There are going to be so many things that I should do once we land but I can not get myself to close my eyes. Finally, I decided to just lay on my back and stare at the ceiling.
