Ciao Firenze!
Well, it's actually here. I have never felt so torn in my life. Now that the realization of leaving this place I have grown to love, (despite my constant banter about how there's not a tree or blade of grass in sight here,) I am feeling very sad to have to depart. I am ecstatic to see my family and friends; time spent with them is long overdue. But Firenze has been a place of memories, learning, loving, and appreciating the differences of another culture and the benefits of ones' own. I have to say that studying abroad was quite an adventure, an adventure that should continue on long after I return home, for there are many places in my own country which I still have yet to visit. Hopefully I will be able to return to Florence some day! For now, Ciao Firenze, รจ stato reale!

Rome!
Okay so ROME!
So that feels like a while ago, because it basically was. Forgot to do a blog post about it! Woops.
Okay so the weekend was super rainy.
On the first day we visited these really cool / creepy catacombs. We couldn't take pictures, but it was still pretty crazy.
Here's a picture from google just to give you an idea:
Everything was made out of pieces of a skeleton, all bones. Creepy as all get out.
We also went to Saint Peter's Basilica and the colosseum.
Not much else to report!
In other news, the semester is almost over and the reality that I am coming home in a little over than a week is unreal. I cannot believe the things I have seen and done. BUT, it's not over yet, I am going to spend this last week (aside from all the art hw I have..) exploring and getting in some last minute gifts and visiting last minute places :)
I am sure I will write a post before I leave!
Ciao regazzi! A presto!
