This post had the potential to be a good post, but then Word
decided to take extra long on loading, a minute to be precise, so now I cannot
say that I started writing at exactly 11:11. Even though I am not starting at
11:13, I will try and redeem some points with what I am about to show and tell.
As you may, or may not, know, this is my final full week in
Firenze, Italia. Bittersweet feelings have begun to wound up inside me. I am
desperately excited to be home with my ever so sweet family, but I do not want
to leave all this magic behind. The rest of my stay is pretty much already
planned out. Here is my schedule:
Monday (tomorrow): In the morning, I need to skip my little
buns over to the photograph printing palace to get my final prints printed. (I
dare you to say that ten times fast.) I went on Friday, but for some reason my
thumb drive would not work in their system, so I am going back for round two.
After that, I have Italian Language class.
Tuesday: Bright and early at ten o clock I have my final
Italian Art History class. This is where I will take the final exam (wish me
luck) and say goodbye to the sweetest little teacher ever: Linda. I will miss
her dearly. Then, I have my photography final critique, which is a piece of
cake. Later that night, Felix and Isabella are coming over for dinner. It is so
hard to say goodbye!
Wednesday: I will take my final for Italian Language. I am
pretty sure it is going to be a hard one, but I will go in there and do my
best. One thing I am positive about is that I will NOT miss Nicola’s teaching,
but I will miss his character. What a funny man.
Thursday: If all goes to plan, I will not have a photography
class today. It is the pack and clean the apartment day! Woot! I feel like it
is going to be emotional. The three of us (Joanna, Rachel, and I) are going to
go out to dinner for a little “last supper” kind of thing. It is weird to think
I will never see these girls again.
Friday: I have my Cinema final, which should be easy peasy
lemon squeezey. (KNOCK ON WOOD.) And then it’s the finishing touches before
departure.
Saturday: Everyone leaves. I have to leave the apartment
before 12:00 where I will then proceed slowly to my hotel across the river.
Becca flies in later that night!!
Sunday: Show Becca my city.
Monday: Show Becca my city and get to bed early.
Tuesday: COME HOME!
What a week to come! Strap on your seatbelts folks. It is
going to be a rollercoaster!
Now lets talk about Verbaledudette’s Gift Guide item number

beautiful accessory! Did I mention they are scented!?

Speaking of Christmas! I took a little walk through the city
tonight. Every street is lined with lights and decorations, take a look:
The city is breathtaking. It is like walking through a
Disneyland Christmas! This has been a productive day for me and I am exhausted.
So, now I bid you goodnight! Have a wonderful rest of your evening. I miss you
and love you.
Xoxo
