Cinque Terre/Good bye Tuscania

This past weekend a group of us went to Cinque Terre.....the most beautiful city in the world. Literally, everything there looked like it should be in a postcard. I have some pictures updated to my facebook from the trip. I have tried emailing pictures to people but for some reason my email wont let me do that. In cinque terre we got to meet some of the people who were going to be in Rome and they seemed really cool. The trip made me really excited to go to Rome but at the same time it made me a little sad that I am leaving Tuscania. If anyone ever has the chance to go to Italy, VISIT 5 TERRE! For real, you can hike between these 5 small fishing towns (it takes about 5 hours to hike the whole thing but it is beautiful) I only hiked between the first 3 than took a train to the last Terra, where I went Kayaking along the coast line of the Terre's. I would have to say that after doing that, my trip was complete! while on the Kayak i jumped off and was swimming in the ocean for a little while, it was really freaky since the there are giant rock structures that are under the water and if I were a giant sea monster......I would DEF hide in that shit haha. So, this week was the last week of classes, I was the most sad to no longer have a cooking class! It was the best class that I have ever taken, but I learned how to cook so many amazing things so I'm not to worried. My finals went well, I think I ended up getting B's in both of my classes which isn't bad. Since tonight is our last night here, I'm pretty sure that we are going to go a little bit crazy.....well actually not a little bit, probably a lot, the school is taking us out to this really nice place for dinner where they serve us pasta in a giant cheese wheel so when the scoop out the pasta you get meltly deliciousness along with it! By this time tomorrow I will be living in ROME!!!! It is going to be crazy and I cannot wait. Our advisors keep telling us that we need to be careful in rome and that we are going to be in shock when we get there, but honestly I dont really see it being that different from downtown Chicago. Well, besides the fact that it has some of the most historical places in the world and everyone speaks Italian.....Well, That's all I have for today, I will write when I am in Rome to update everyone about the apartment. Ciao!
