Is this a good bio?

The ship had to take temperature of everyone on the ship before entering Tokyo. I wonder what would happen if we didn’t, like “pass”. Would they quarantine the entire ship :) Mine was : 97.4

Some more intenns helped us out work with it.

But it was also SUPPER rocky on the ship… and in the morning tomorrow when I woke up we actually thought we ran out of water :) because there was no water in the sinks except for brown stuff, and I excersized with Jesse, Oli, and Shawna and thought I wouldn’t be able to shower afterwards; We thought we overheard the kitchen say that they were frantically boiling water. Well , it did actually seem ok later.
