On Wednesday May 1, it finally hit me that my time here in Rome is limited. Classes were ending and I was staring down my last full weekend in Rome. 11 days, 10 days, one week left... Things were moving way too fast. I still have so much to do, so much to see, so much gelato that needs to be eaten!
While trying to cross things off my bucket list, I had the sad realization that a lot of my free time needs to be dedicated to studying for my finals. Oh right, I'm taking classes here... that's the reason I'm here... for school. Right. Can't forget that.
I have a final on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, and then I'm done with school. My flight home is Saturday morning. Crazy to think the semester has gone by so fast. I feel like just yesterday I was settling into my apartment. Whenever I talk to other people in my program, we all agree we have mixed emotions. We're excited to return to the States and see family and friends, but at the same time, not quite ready to leave this magical place we've had the privilege to call home the last four months.
In typical Allison fashion, I've put off studying to the last minute. I'm still procrastinating studying by writing this blog! No worries, though, these next three days, I'll really crack down. I was lucky to do some amazing things this weekend (like FINALLY go inside the Colosseum- blog post about that to come) and have fun things planned for week ahead.
I should probably attempt to start studying now... But first, I leave you with this. This video clip basically sums up my feelings about my last week in Rome.
Bisogno studiare! Ciao!
