Coming to a Close

I will be back in North Carolina on Wednesday and it is very strange to think that I have been here for 5 weeks. I have learned so much about the Italian culture and I have realized how fortunate I am to be given this opportunity. Also, I have made memories that will never be replaced with some of the coolest people that I have ever met. I slept until 11:57 today. I felt pretty good about waking up when it was still "morning", but I decided to go on a walk around Perugia before the institute opened at 2. It is now 2:15 so I am fresh off this walk. To be honest, I haven't walked around Perugia much. Oh I have been walking for sure, but usually just to school, or to the Minimetro (the above ground tram that takes us to the train station and grocery store. Think the monorail at Disney) or to the bus station, but I haven't explored. My explorations today introduced me to sights that I didn't even know existed and to architecture that was breath taking. Needless to say it was a good walk and a great way to close my trip here. Unfortunately, now I have to work on some final class blogs and study for my Italian final. Ciao for now!
