It’s the Final Countdown…..

In more than one way. Finals are literally 5 to 7 days away since I have them on 2 days. Then 15 days until I am Home Sweet Home.  It is starting to get to me too. I miss home! I have taken to making sweet tea here because I miss my momma’s sweet tea. I have been listening to music that my mom plays around the house. I have been listening to a video my puppy howling. I have missed so much already. Congratulations again to all my now Alumni friends from Maryville College. It is approximately 4 days until my best friend gets married to her true love. Congratulations to y’all wish I could be there with you for your big day.  Know that my thoughts are with you from Italy. So my life hasn’t been to interesting lately with the upcoming finals fast approaching and planning my trip before heading home.  I am getting ready to travel to 5 cities and 2 countries in 6 days. I’m heading to Germany (Munich, Heidelberg, Dresden and Ending in Berlin) and to the Czech Republic (Prague). I am excited and ready to see some beautiful sights. 



Another way to see it as it’s the final countdown to how much time I have time with the people on my hall (they are not my biggest fans). As well it’s the final countdown to when I will get to see some of my friends. Miss y’all! I cannot believe we are close to starting our senior years at MC.  It will be a great year! Also it is the final countdown until I get to see my favorite Country star (Luke Bryan) in concert this summer.   Although I am sad I have so much to look forward to that makes the fact that I am leaving Italy a little easier.  My family has helped with this aspect as well. We have an annual fish fry the Sunday after I get home so I can see half of my family. Then it is time to get ready to work and make some money for my senior year. My Study-cation is almost over. We all know that this wasn’t my hardest or craziest semester that award goes to last semester (Emily you know the crazy parts). My senior year is looking to be a hard one as well. Full course loads, Mentoring (which I love to do), President of the Loud Scotsmen, Fulfilling scholarship requirements, and possibly volunteering in the International House. It is a good thing I like to be busy and to organize everything.
 
 
 
I think I will miss the fact that Italian art can be misguiding and take time to understand. Seriously it took me 3 months to realize this statue/sculpture thing was a needle and thread.  I will also miss the surprise rain showers that are freezing cold.






My life changed this past February and it changed me in a good way.  My life will change again this June and hopefully change me to be an even better me. I cannot wait to hug my family and cuddle with my fat puppy. Also I will come bearing gifts and treats. I am too nice sometimes. I miss y’all and love y’all! See you soon!
 
 
Ciao!
