I can't believe it's ending

It's late Friday afternoon and I'm leaving the apartment in 12 hours.. this is so strange. I feel like I have been in Italy for just a week or so, and it's time to come home. I'm afraid of the traveling home (overweight luggage and stuff like that) but once I get on the plane, I know I'll be ready to be home. For now, I want to make today last as long as possible. It hasn't even really hit me yet that I'm going to be seeing my family and Drew very very soon!

Since my last cooking class, I have had a full and satisfying day and a half here. Yesterday (Thursday) was my last day of classes, which just included our final exams. My Italian exam went pretty well, I thought, except for one section where I honestly think that no one knew 4 or so of the verbs that we had to use. We'll see how that one turns out. And in photography, the exam itself was relatively easy. Then we presented our final projects, the photojournalism projects. Our teacher didn't say anything critical about mine, just a few positive things, so I guess that means I did well. Honestly, I have no idea how the grading in this class works, and my final grade will be a total surprise when it is posted. and when I figure out how to find out what the grade actually is... Then he came around and looked at our portfolios. Again, I think he liked mine, but I can't really be sure.

After that, it was summer again! It never stopped being summer, but I feel like some "break" should come after exams, so I was saying that summer break was back. I thought it was funny, at least. Most of the apartment went out to dinner at Cinghiale Bianco, a restaurant that Katie says is the best in Florence. I won't disagree! The food was great, and we were all in such a great mood, it being our last day of class and all.

From there we went to a few bars, none that were very exciting. There WAS one guy who danced to all of "single ladies", which was so amazing and fabuloussssss. On the way back home went to the SECRET BAKERY. yea, it's as exciting as it sounds. It's a place near our apartment (that somehow I've never been to) that starts baking pastries and things late at night for the next day. Small cafes and places that sell pastries will buy them from this bakery, but you can go, starting at 1:30, to get one for yourself! They were awesome.

Today I went to lunch, did some last-minute shopping, and I have been packing and cleaning since then.

I can't believe I'll be home tomorrow.

Love y'all!
