GAM Is Singing Your Tune


Have ye any Doubloons?  
We don't mean to impugn,
But if your semester is a monsoon,
GAM is singing your tune.

Escape the platoons of goons 
Stuck in their boring cocoons,
Aboard unsteady pontoons
Looking in the light of the moon like tired raccoons, 
Carousing in the same ole saloons.

For shipmates here are the boons:
Golfing out of the dunes,
Swimming in blue lagoons, 
Sleeping til the afternoons, 
Surfing ahead of typhoons,
Eating prunes with two spoons,
Making animals with balloons,
Watching Saturday morning cartoons.

Step to the bow and grab your harpoons,
With GAMship ye fortunes are arriving Soon
Doubloons we be offering, and ye all be sure tycoons.

GAM Bridge Officers for Fall 2013: ASLA


Meet the Bridge Officers for Fall 2013.
.
Andrea Lee Torres, serving in the French Foreign Legion on an archaeological dig at the ancient city of Hamunaptra, accidentally awakened a Mummy.  As captain, she is determined to track down and make sure that each crew member has their own pet whale. Andrea Lee is infected with the travel bug, but she knows she has to settle down some day. When that time comes, she wants to be web designer, photographer, ceramist, knitter, and coffee barista simultaneously.
.
Sharmin Rashed was born a gypsy princess who decided she needed a new life sailing aboard GAMship sometime after Sharmin heard Imhotep refer to her as Anck-su-Namun in Hamunaptra.  So, Sharmin decided to sign aboard GAMship as the second in command to escape her doppelgänger.  Sin-Good plans on traveling the world and absorbing the culture from each port she visits with and for you.  She hopes to enter the adventurous world of advertising and slowly work her magic into the United Nations.
.
Laura Bordas is the navigator of GAMship because she is an aspiring world class cruise enthusiast.  She maps our cruise as our social network librarian, keeping you informed of our carping in your face(book), for you(r) twit(ter) and (insta)gam you to name a few.  She is the leader of the "cool kids crew" and enjoys travel anywhere except Hamunaptra.  Speaking of touchy feely mummies, she also panics when ketchup touches her skin.   Her career objective is to open her own communications agency to retire at 35--leaving behind in her wake a treasurer chest that will provide for her future generations.
.
Alexandra Soriano is no mummy; she's a mommy.  Chasing after four kids, who are under the age of 7, has definitely given GAMship's purser a few advantages.  Every shipmate will enjoy the cruise, and no one will go missing!  She'll make sure no one is left behind trapped by a swarm of flesh-eating scarabs as Hamunaptra collapses into the sand.  Her goal in life is to become a successful publicist, who'll one day influence mothers to take selfies, do scavenger hunts, search for missing gems, and swim with whales.  What can possibly be the icing on that cake for this ambitious Purser?  To travel the world--by GAMship of course!
