L'ultimo giorno in Roma

So it is currently 630 am and I leave Rome today. I am not packed in the slightest but that doesn't appear to be a problem because my flight keeps getting delayed. I was supposed to leave at 1150 and it was pushed back to 1250. Now were looking at 225. ugh. At this point. I have said my (tearful) good byes to Rome and it is time to leave. I'm really hoping and praying that it doesnt get pushed back like into the night because I would really like to sleep in my own bed tonight now. WOW WEIRD.
As for packing. my suitcases are going to be over weight. I have bought too many goodies that they just are going to make my luggage heavy. I would say sorry I'm not sorry but I am. mostly because i have to carry them.
I am currently running on an hour of sleep since the other night. Last night we had an apertivo with the program which included free food and wine and it was a lovely chance to all be together one last time and it was super cute. after which there was lots of running around and seeing of monuments. we then all met up at Scholars, a irish bar that american study abroad students frequent (aka always go to). And what did we meet up for? The preakness. which is run in Baltimore. I watched the preakness in Rome and I completely forgot it was yesterday. And what else was playing on another tv? An orioles game. Baltimore threw up on the Scholars tvs. I think it was God's way of telling me that its time to go home. But not yet because my flight keeps getting pushed back..
Gotta go... just because im not packed doesnt mean Im not gonna have to leave.

only 2 weeks left?!!

Is this real life?!?!? I can't believe that I have less then 2 weeks in Europe! Where has the time gone?! Because I don't know. I do have to say that I am so excited to go home and see my family and my friends and my dog but its going to be so hard leaving Rome! I was trying to think about what I'm going to miss the most and it was a unanimous vote for food. It's just so freaking good. I have become addicted to a croissant filled with nutella and a cappuccino. for less then 2 euro. its the best breakfast ever. and all the great pasta. gnocchi. and the naples pizza. but not naples. the gelato. nom nom nom. and not being able to see my friends that ive made here. I didn't see kelsey for 3 whole days and it was very weird. very weird indeed. 

I am looking forward to going home though and mostly for mexican food. and sushi. really all that im concerned with in life is food. hahah. but i am also looking forward to going home and being able to walk down the street in a dress and flip flops in 75 degree weather and not being stared at. jesus. 75 degree weather is not a time for your stupid puffy shiny jackets. 

Gretchen comes this weekend and I;m so excited to see her! It'll be good to the touristy things one last time before leaving. wahhhhhhhhhhh I have so much to do before then! I have one paper/ presentation done but I have a final today, 2 more papers and 3 more finals to do before i leave?! 

Side note: my paper/ presentation was on wait for it wait for it HARRY POTTER. That's right I was able to do a paper comparing the Death Eaters of harry potter to the Sicilian Mafia, the Cosa Nostra. It was pretty freaking great of i do say so myself. not to mention my slideshow was filled with great pictures. And my teacher told me it was the most unique topic idea shes ever had. I was surprised it took this long for me to write a paper on it to be honest. A couple of people in my program have asked me to send it to them. hahah study abroad is not real school. 

Anyway. I will eventually get my other posts up. As to when im not sure yet because I realized after a weekend of mass unproductivity, that there is alot to do this week (2 finals and a paper) that needs to be finished by thursday night. yobs. its almost like finals week last semester... (shout out 309)...not. :)
