Field Programs/Practicum

Well, we did not win the Amazing Race...not even close, but it's ok. We had fun. They had us going all over the ship solving fancy puzzles and riddles. It was pretty intense.

 

I got my finalized list of field programs/practicum. I'm very excited! Here is the list:

 

Barcelona:

Flamenco at Night with Dinner

Doctors Without Borders: Mental Health Lecture

 

Civitavecchia:

Service Visit: Repubblica Dei Ragazzi

 

Naples:

Pompeii

Capri and Anacapri Day Trip

 

Dubrovnik:

City Orientation--City Walls

Montenegro Overnight

 

Piraeus:

Sights of Athens and Acropolis

Athens Pride: Gay Advocacy in Greece Lecture

 

Varna:

Salt Lakes of Bourgas, Healing Mud, and Nessebar

 

Istanbul:

Palaces of Istanbul and Asiatic Side

Virginity Testing and Hymen Reconstruction Lecture

 

Casablanca:

Rabat Half Day Trip

Mental Health Issues in Morocco Lecture

 

I had to cancel my service trip to the place for people with autism because they changed the date of one of my other ones, and it caused me to be double booked. They also canceled my trek through the Vulci Nature Park trip. I was looking forward to both of those, but it's ok because I have a pretty great schedule. I have to go to the lectures for my classes, but I think they all sound extremely interesting. I'm very excited to get to do all of these trips/lectures, and also travel independently as well.

 

Countdown to Barcelona: 5 Days.

 

This morning I got up, put my swim suit and my sunscreen on, was all ready to go lay out before class (what a weird concept), got outside and it was CLOUDY. The one day I finally decided to do this! The deck was empty. Usually it's packed and sunny. My mission to get a tan is not going so well. It rained today, and rumor has it we're supposed to hit a storm tonight. We'll see how this goes...
