OFFICIAL LAST DAY.
This week has been all sorts of crazy. I do know one thing - having total access to alcohol and food 24/7 has not been good for me.
Monday we did not end up people watching. Instead we just chilled and hung around and read books in our room. LAME. Also, we did not go out either because we were tired and needed to take the night off.
Tuesday was SO MUCH FUN. First we had Italian, and then we had a wrap up class for Renaissance, which was quite short, thankfully. We had a break for an hour or two and then we went to our cooking class at an authentic Italian villa! It was so pretty, she had two really cute dogs, and we made SO much food. We had literally eight or nine dishes - all delicious and fattening. MM MM GOOD. When we got back from cooking class, I immediately took to drinking and we began plans for the wedding of V and Matteo that evening.
The wedding was quite intense. Matching bridesmaids dresses, reception, wedding cake, toasts, white dress, suits (good enough), flowers, ring bearer, flower girl, the whole shebang. Pictures on facebook do not do the evening justice.
Then we all went out for Cara's birthday. It was a great night.
Wednesday we all went to Bologna. It was kind of rainy and we were all tired, so it wasn't the best excursion. Plus, we didn't see most of the places we went there to see because one of them was closed, Ciccareli decided he didn't like the other one, and because it was cold and rainy. Instead, he took us to get ice cream.
We came back to Firenze and had a very nice dinner. Then I went to bed.
THURSDAY, which was yesterday, was just a huge frenzy of a day. We woke up kind of late, and sort of studied. Went to the OIL SHOPPE for the last time ever :( and thenn came back and studied some more and hung out. Took our test around 5:30 and thenn we had dinner. After dinner some us went to the Ponte Vecchio for gelato and the sunset - perfect.
Our last real night was spent on the terrace with all the people from our program. When we drank too much, we went out. It was a perfect last night in this city.
Today we woke up, packed, and moved to our hostel. Then we climbed the Duomo, ate at Cucciolo, got ice cream at La Carraia, went to Mercato Centrale, and just hung out around our room in the hostel. I took a mini nap just now. Soon we're going to the Arno, then out to dinner, and then going to bed because of our flights in the morning. I LOVE IT here but I can't wait to be home.
