As I have started into my second week back from
Easter/Spring break I have come to realize we just thought the classes were
easier here. I have had 3 papers, 2
presentations all due in the last two weeks. One of my classes is in the last 3
weeks of classes so we are hitting it hard before the exam. I am so tired of group assignments as
well. I have never realized how much I like
doing solo presentations until this study abroad experience. No one can agree or
wants to talk about the same thing, some don’t want to meet, and others have no
clue to anything going on. White girl
moment “I literally just can’t even”. This has been in my vocabulary to much
these last 2 weeks. I have also have experienced
2 nothing will work to ease the pain migraines. Which doesn’t help my work load
at all. The classes have begun to be my
enemies. I just want them to be over
most days. I am physically and mentally exhausted. Right now the only things getting through
these obstacles is the fact that I have a field trip next Tuesday and plans for
awesome trips in May. I love that after May 6th I will have 4 day
weekends. Makes it easier to travel.
Cinqueterre here I come! Also my
last trip which I think will be Greece but ask me in 2 weeks it may be
different then. My moto for the next few
weeks is it will be worth it when you are away for the weekend. Hopefully this moto helps. 
As I am muddling through my classes here, my friends are
nearing the end of their classes back home. (Slightly jealous) In bocca al lupo
(good luck) to you on finals that are fast approaching. I cannot wait to be back in Rocky Top and
back at MC! I miss everyone. Though I have
had some complications on finalizing my schedule, housing, meal plan, etc. Luckily I got my second choice of rooms, I’m
approved for an international roommate, I have finalized my senior year
schedule (hopefully), I have asked about meal plans, and I am impressed by my
ability to get stuff done from 3000+ miles away. I hope to come back and still be as
productive. I want to say an early (in case in forget) Congratulations to my
Graduating friends! May life treat you well! Also to my fellow (as of now
juniors) we are almost there (sad/happy moment)! To my family I will see you
very soon! I expect hugs, steak, sweet tea, cookies, biscuits, bbq or just meat
in general, and more hugs. Oh and my dog
to already have a bath when I get back (so I can hug him too). I am
also ready for Luke Bryan in July! So excited for that. I have wanted tickets
for a while so I bought them. I’m ready
for the stadium concert. Then it’s off to school in August. I miss y’all so
much! Love y’all!
Ciao amici!
