I got the Dean's approval for my visiting student status, so I am good to go!
I will have a lot of financial aid and registrar paperwork to do with my school, and I still need to get my application, deposit check, and passport-sized photos (for the ISIC card - some sort of student insurance) to Gonzaga in Spokane, WA.
It's coming along nicely. So far I know that there's another group of 4 students going from my school, but as far as the group I'm traveling with it's definitely Danielle and I, with the possibility of two others. We should know by the end of this week who else is going with us, then we can make travel & lodging plans. I'm hoping to see a lot more of Europe for a few weeks after classes are over. But we'll see what actually happens...

Let's start at the very beginning.
A very good place to start.
Some of my classmates decided to spend part of their summer in Florence, Italy, taking two classes there through a US program. I planned to stay here in Florida and take two classes at night and work during the day.
Then I realized that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. And I have a passport just collecting dust. Why not use it while I can?
And now I'm going to Italy. To spend about a month there.
I'll be taking general Comparative Law and Governmental Structure & Civil Rights Comparative Law. Three-day weekends are built into the program so I will get to see a lot of Italy!
Needless to say, I am quite excited. We haven't picked travel dates or set an itinerary yet, but we have to be in Florence by May 17, and finals are on June 13. We'll probably stay longer, either before or after classes. I will try to get a job for two months when I get back, before the Fall semester begins.
I will try to keep this blog updated! The semester is going to get pretty busy but I'll do my best.
I covet your prayers & support during this semester's schoolwork, Italy planning, and traveling.
