Floating Classroom
"Imagine a semester of school where you sail around the world...and earn credits!" Sounds good to me. Where do I sign up?

I was driving past the harbor this afternoon on the way to meet some friends for lunch and I saw that a massive 3-masted boat had pulled into harbor. Turns out it's the S.V. Concordia, the high school version of "Semester-at-Sea", which is a cruise ship that holds class for decadent college students while they cruise around the world.

Damn, I wish I was in high school again, and had $28,000 US, plus money for visas, insurance, and a little pocket money. Geez, where'd my sugar daddy go?
