Final Days in Firenze :(

It's been a while since I have done this. The weekend after Jess left everyone went away so I just kinda hung out all weekend. Rather boring. But that Saturday I did go to Cinque Terre and met up with Kaitlynn and her family. It is absolutely gorgeous there. The water is bright blue, there are mountains, and all the buildings are different rainbow colors.. so cute! So in the first town (I cannot remember which is which) we sat and had a snack.. tuna of course! Best tuna sandwich I have ever had. Then we took the train to the next town where we had lunch. Basically we ate in every town. This town had a little beach and pretty little boats everywhere. Really Cute. It was unbearably crowded though. So then we worked off all of our food by hiking to the next town. Basically an hour and a half hike on this narrow path, all uneven and what not. I mean the hike was really nice and the view was amazing but it was a little hot out for it. I just wish I had worn sneakers. In that town we sat and had some dessert wine with biscotti, SO good. Cinque Terre is famous for a certain kind of dessert wine, Scciachetra. My parents asked me to get them a bottle of wine there so I got that and a little bottle of lemoncello for them. Its in a glass shoe and its hand painted! Too cute. Anyway we went to the last 2 towns quickly because our train was coming soon. We sat and had dessert and then went to find our train, almost got on the wrong one.

Kait's family is so nice, they basically treated my like their other child that day. They also took me to dinner with them at La Congrega in Firenze earlier that week. I am going to miss that place. Kait and I go there all the time, the waitress knows us and brings champagne on the house for us now which is really nice. We are going to go there on our last night and then get in one last waffle!

Anyway I got back from Cinque Terre around 10ish and I was absolutely dead. It was a very long day and I didnt get much sleep the night before either. So I stayed in and max came over. The next week was hell. I had one big group project due Thursday and then I had a research paper due Monday. I am just happy thats over now. But now we have finals coming up next week. Basically a joke. I went and picked up the top to my ring from the silver casting place yesterday. It came out so good! Im so happy with it. Now I have to solder it to the band after I take my final on Tuesday. In sewing we're working on a little like makeup or jewelry bag thing with pockets. He gave us a lot of freedom with it so we could choose our own fabrics, embellishments, closings, etc. The outside of mine is navy and I am going to put either a pink or white bow on the front. The inside is pink, white, and has flowered pockets. Ill prob use it for jewlery since I have no where to put any of that. We're doing that instead of taking a final which is nice, especially since its the day after my birthday. The last thing i want the day after I turn 21 is a fucking final.

Cant believe I am going to be 21 in 4 days! Sooo excited. Im kinda bummed I wont be home though, it would be nice to be with my best friends but I do love everyone here so it should be a good time. We will probably go to dinner somewhere nice and then I think we're gonna go to Mecca? for Lil Jon. My parents are really excited for me to be 21 and they keep thinking of restaurants to go to when I get back. Ann cant wait to have someone to booze with haha.

Ah gotta go to dinner I'll finish later
