Today was final exam day! Went to school at normal time, around 9 am, and waited around for awhile until the profs came with the exam. Sat down and started to take it. Not bad at all! I don't think I aced it but I don't think I did horribly like I thought I would. I then had an oral part with Prof Branciforte which wasn't as scary as I thought it was going to be. Overall, not bad. And now I can
say some cool Italian phrases and sound exotic ;-)
After school, we got lunch at Da Maria again. We tried their pansotti con salsa di noci (the walnut sauce). It was ok but not the same as the classy restaurant. We came back to the hotel and I took a nap and then packed to come home! I know I am lucky to be in Italy and I am so thankful for this experience but I am ready to go home. I've had a great time and seen so many amazing, beautiful sites, and met so many interesting people, and learned so much... but I've also never been away, living out of a suitcase, for this long (I unpacked some but for short trips, you never fully move in and make the space yours). It will be nice to be home and see my parents, brother, aunt, grandma, etc and hear their voices (they get special shout outs because I know they are reading this ;-) lol) And I'm excited to see my cats and all my friends and see my home and apartment! I'm excited to sleep long
nights and relax and do nothing. I'm excited to TEXT! :-P I'm really going to miss Italy though. I'm going to miss the intricate buildings that never got boring to look at (well except those churches...), and I'll miss the delicious food and the interesting people I've met. I'll even miss hearing and speaking the language. I'll especially miss the view of the mountains meeting the ocean. That was probably my favorite thing about this entire trip... that view.
Anyway... back to today. After packing, I went to the aquarium with Behrad, Tasha, and Jessica. It was nice to be down by the harbor because it is pretty, interesting, and there is a lot to look at. The aquarium was an aquarium lol but it was nice and I had fun. None of their tanks have bars around
them so you can press your nose up to the glass... even with the shark tank! So the sharks, dolphins, sea turtles, sting rays, puffins, etc were inches away! So cool! And they had a touch tank!!! I petted a sting ray! Fun times :-)
Now, I need to go get ready for our last dinner all together! And then we are going OUT OUT OUT! to celebrate being DONE DONE DONE! with Italian class :-P Home tomorrow!!! :-D (plane lands at Dulles at 7:15pm so I won't be home til after 9 probably but everyone should text me lots!)
Last bit of love from Italia <3
