Character Meme 3 of 6: TS

The third character to “fill out” a survey is TS!  If you missed the previous two you can read them here:  Thomas and Dani. 

If you have no idea what any of this is about, here’s a little summary to bring you up to speed:

As a refresher (or summary if you haven’t read it), Semester Aboard begins at night.  Our narrator, Jen, is on a summer study abroad program that takes place on a ship.  As the story opens, the students have just gotten back on the ship after several days in Mexico, their first port.  The ship is just getting ready to leave and sail on to Panama.  From there…well, Jen stumbles across something a bit magical…

For our purposes, let’s say that the students all returned to their rooms to find a “Get to Know Each Other” thing waiting for them to fill out.

And don’t worry, this is spoiler (but not hint) free!
