Coming down to the last days...

I really don't want to go back to the states on the 19th, but thinking back to everything i did during this semester makes me happy...

Some of the things I have done this semester are...
  • Climbed the leaning tower of Bologna
  • Taken a typical tourist picture in Pisa
  • Crossed the Ponte Vecchio more times than I can count
  • Seen Juliet Capulet's "balcony"
  • Had more chocolate that I should've at Eurochocolate in Perugia
  • Climbed the hills of Fiesole
  • Walked through the cities of cinque terre in the rain
  • Taken a gondola ride in Venice
  • Taken a choo choo train tour in Bari
  • Seen the hills of San Gimignano
  • Rented a car in Corfu
  • Visited the famous white houses in Santorini
  • Had an authentic Greek meal in Mykonos
  • Rented a motorcycle in Katakolon
  • Walked the fortress walls of Dubrovnik
  • Went on a tour and pub crawl around Prague
  • Climbed the Eiffel Tower
  • Thrown a coin into the Trevi fountain
  • Seen the Anne Frank house in Amsterdam
  • Had lunch in Munich
  • Gone skydiving in Switzerland
I'd say that that's a pretty accomplished list... I'm happy with it and I have loved EVERY second of my study abroad experience.

Tomorrow starts the first night of Hannukah and all nights of Hannukah will be spent in Italy. Tomorrow night I am throwing a Hannukah party at my apartment, and so far, it seems like a lot of people are planning on showing up. It should be fun. Here is my makeshift menorah...

Hannukah is seriously my favorite Jewish Holiday. I love the latkes. I love the lights. I love the company. I love the songs. I love the spirit.

Despite finals, I'm living my final days here to the fullest!
