Well the end is in reach and I still have no idea how I feel
other than stressed. Finals are this
week and I have already taken two with two more to go tomorrow. Then I am
getting ready to head to Germany and the Czech Republic for 6 days then back to
Milan to get ready to go home. I am excited to see my family, but sad to leave
this beautiful country that I have come to love. I cannot wait to hug my best friend and my
mom and cuddle with my dog. I am slightly nervous for the return trip though.
It is longer and seems to be different because it’s during the day this
time. Bring on the Steak and Sweet Tea!!
I am craving steak. I miss my dad’s
grilled steaks and Bbq. Ugh, I cannot wait to taste some of it. I also want to
see how much the town I live in, where I go to school has changed in four
months. Any way it has been a week or so
of final goodbyes for me and some new friends and favorite places. I said goodbye to the Milano Duomo this
weekend and saw some Italian Indians. Realized the pride Italy has for their
flags and culture. I said goodbye to the
international students of spring 2015 at UCSC.
I said goodbye to two of my
classes and professors on very happily I might say. I said goodbye to more
money as I bought souvenirs and presents for people. I really said goodbye when
I applied for a job for the summer. I have prepared my goodbyes for the sights
of UCSC as I finish my semester abroad tomorrow. I am in the middle of saying
goodbye to my experience here, so it is a crazy time for me. I am going to miss walking down the street
for homemade pizza, and good gelato. I will miss the fact that cars are
unnecessary here. You can’t go anywhere without a car in the U.S. except major
and heavy populated cities. I have begun the packing and hoping to fit
everything in the bags that I have here with me and them fit the restrictions
coming home. I am excited to see Germany and grab a German beer or two. As well
top see the Lennon Wall. My life has been so great lately the only things
missing are my mom, best friend, and my dog.
Why hasn’t a teleportation device not been created yet? Someone should
work on that like yesterday. Man this is
crazy to believe that my time is almost up. I can’t even believe it yet. I am
going to be on happy girl in 9 days and I can be with my family and my dog (he
is sleeping in my bed that night hope my parents realize this). 
Then its 11 days until I see my best friend after 4 months. I honestly am so excited right now, but sad a well. Mostly excited to get back home and see what my senior year has to bring. By this time next year I will have already graduated college. What?! This is not real, tell me its not real. Any way 9 days and counting……
Ciao tutti!
