Almost Docking in Spain
It is 5:25am here and I could not sleep all last night. I do not know why I bet I was just really excited or something. I am about to get ready and then head to my friends room. We are going to watch us come into Spain. We are all so excited to see land and eat some great food!!!! Right when we get off the ship we are heading to get on the train.
Campus Life
Semester at Sea campus life is amazing! I am having the time of my life. I cannot even explain how amazing this experience really is. Tomorrow we will be arriving in Cadiz,Spain at 8 in the morning. My friends and I will be heading to Seville where we will be staying in a hostel for three nights. We are going to try to go to a bull fight while we are there. After we have done everything we can, we will come back to Cadiz. We will stay on the ship while we are in Cadiz. Today we are going to be charging all of our cameras and packing our bags for our mini trip. We are officially on Spain time! Yay! Finally!
Here is the time change difference

California to Boston= 3 hours
Boston to Canada= 1 hour
1st time change= 1 hour
2nd time change= 1 hour

I am now 8 hours ahead of you guys. It is so weird! I am glad we do not lose another hour tonight! The time change has been killing me and my friends! I am so excited to get off the ship and be on land and eat good food! We are so tired of the food on the ship and it has only been a week! We are done with class till we get back on the ship from Morocco. Its a ten day break from class. The class schedule is so weird! But I love it.

Ship Life Update
I have been on the MV Explorer for that past 4 days. I have been so busy I have not had anytime to update my blog. The first day I got on the ship I walked straight to my room and my bags were already there. I opened my door and found a letter on my bed from my roommate welcoming me. I knew from right then that we were not going to have any problems at all. Her name is Emma and she is so nice. We kind of never see each other because we are always on the go and are on different time schedules.
After I was done unpacking, I headed up to the 7th deck to see what was going on. Kayla and Amy were having lunch with some people they had already met. I sat down and we have not had a meal apart. Our group is always together and we are planning trips together. The first night me and this guy named Marcus, decided to sleep up on the top deck. Kayla, Amy, Ed, and Tom tried to, but they did not have a sleeping bag like us.
So we were the only two that stuck it out the whole night. It was so nice waking up outside. Sleeping outside is definitely on my list to do again. Yesterday we laid out by the pool and just relaxed. We played some cards game and had class. Today we had class then had a break and now we are about to head to class again. Kayla, Amy and I, are signed up to work out tonight form 9:00pm to 10:30pm. I am so excited to finally start working out again. The seas have been rough but they are calming down now. Nothing like they were the first night, they were horrible! Well I am off to class I will update everyone soon. I love it here!
