Hello world!
The past two days have been pretty relaxing since we've been on a regular class schedule in between Italy and Croatia. Theres been alot of essay writing and alot of class time and alot of laying out on the deck doing homework.
Two big things happened though! :
1) In Global Studies yesterday one of the other faculty acted as a guest speaker and talked about the Grand Tour of Europe that rich guys right out of school used to do. Now alot of people doing it as backpackers. IT LOOKS AMAZING. And it got me really excited about doing it after I save up enough money - so probably not until I've been in the real world for a few years hahah
2) Same lady also offered a seminar that night on a non profit womens organization she started in Guatemala so I went to listen cuase it sounded alot like El Salvador. I got so excited that I talked to her at the end and we're gonna meet up for lunch or something and shes gonna give me some advice on our El Salvador project for SIFE. weeeeee!!
So I don't know if I was just really easily excitable yesterday (Kara - if you're reading this: we would have been dangerous together yesterday lol) or what but I got so pumped up.
Then I discovered all of these modern witty travel guides on the shared files and found some neat places to go in the upcoming countires. My friends and I also planned out some things we want to do in Greece - mostly because I have NO field excursions so I have 5 free days. We're gonna go see alot of the stuff like museums and such in Athens the first day and then we're gonna try to make it out to an island (probs Aegina) for a night or two and see some stuff there!
Croatia I'm basically booked - I have an field excursion everyday but the last! But they'll be awesome and I get back between 3 and 6 everyday, so I'll still have lots of time during the late afternoon/night.
Tomorrow I have a tour of the city walls of Croatia - aka my ancestors stomping ground :)
Missing everyone!! <3
