Three Days til Italy?!

So after a great last day in Cadiz, Spain I got back on the ship and we left for Italy!! I had a great time in Spain but it was very nice to be able to come back to the ship and feel back at home with something familiar. I really enjoyed hearing about everyones adventures in Spain!! So after leaving Cadiz it was so exciting to know that in three days we would be in a whole other country, Italy!! But before I could do that I had to conquer.. classes. So that was not so much fun. I had a assignment for social work and mid-term as well as a essay for global studies.. all in three days. But I made it though and that makes Italy that much more exciting! It was kind of interesting all having to take the same test because all of the students on board were doing the same thing, studying for the same test. I just thought it was interesting because we all 700 plus of us were experiencing the same thing. We had some new lectures on the ship to help us prepare for Italy. One of the coolest parts of the three days on the ship was that Loretta Sanchez came on board from Spain to Italy. She is a Congresswoman from California. She spoke to the whole ship and I was fortunate enough to have her come to two of my classes! That was pretty awesome to have a Congresswoman pretty much all to yourself with no outside disractions. We were able to ask her questions and I learned a lot about Congress and some new bills coming up! If only that was possible all the time! It was a nice transition to get back on the ship and get ready for another great adventure. This next port will be interesting because we only have one day til we arrive in our next country!
