2 weeks to go...

So, exactly 2 weeks from today... I will be on a plane back to America. It's sooo crazy to believe that my time in Florence is coming to an end so quickly. It's a bittersweet situation though because I have grown to love Florence and the city is beautiful and there is so much to do, and I really am not looking forward to going back to "reality". Although, I really miss everyone at home and anxious to be back in America. Although, enough about this, I will start reflecting on my experiences here in a later blog.

Finals are next week... gah! I have done little to no work for the entire semester and now it's crunch time. I am sure I will do fine but I always get nervous and freak myself out because our grades are literally based on the mid-term and final exam so I must do well on them. Also, the weather for the next 10 days is calling for rain. I can't complain though because we have had absolutely beautiful weather for the majority of our stay here. Although, it is a bummer that our final days in Florence will consist of rain. :( It makes you want to hibernate inside all day!

Monday night, I went to a new restaurant called 4 Leoni with some of the girls in my Mediterranean Diet class where I had this amazing salad, I wish I could remember the name of it but the whole menu was in Italian. It had spinach, pesto sauce, pecorino cheese, and avocado... most delicious salad I have had since I've been here. I would go back to this restaurant just for this salad. The main course was even better though it was a cheese and pear ravioli. You wouldn't think that it would taste good but let me tell you it does. At first you just taste the cheese because it is a bit overwhelming but then you fell the crunch of the pear, it's a perfect combination! I really am going to miss Italian food although we have made a pact to start trying as many different restaurants as we can before we live so that we can give recommendations to next year's study abroad students. Ciao for now!
