Last day in Italia :(

So I am now sitting back in my room at Brighton trying to gain enough motivation to start one of the 6 (or so- who is counting?) papers I have due within in the next month.  NOT looking forward to it!!
Anyway, I will fill you all in about my adventures in Amsterdam in my next post!  But first, I have to finish my last day in Italy!
So after I spent the entire day on Friday (while Shelley was on her day trip) on the internet, I went to this little park where the sun decided to finally come out!  I don't actually know if it was a park but there were benches and grass so that is what I am calling it, because you don't see any grass in Florence really.  So I sat in the sun and wrote in my journal for awhile until the stupid clouds decided to ruin my day and cover up the beautiful sunlight.  It got cold and I went back to Shelley's apartment and continued to journal until she got back.  She didn't get back until around 8pm because they were stuck in so much traffic, which kinda sucked, but as soon as she got back, we headed to dinner to get kebabs!  They were sooo good!  I am glad Shelley told me to put the spicy sauce on it, because it made it amazing!  After inhaling that, we went to walk to Shelley's favorite nutella crepe place.  By the time we got there though it was closed!!  We were so mad and I was still really wanting to try a nutella crepe, so we went back to the place where we got canolis at the night before and got one there.  SERIOUSLY best dessert EVER!!!  I have literally been going through withdrawals (only after having one)!  I got back to Brighton and all I could think about was how much I wanted a nutella crepe.  So glad Shelley introduced me to those and I hope they have them back home or I will make Shelley make me some after she gets her crepe maker!  I also got another canoli for breakfast the next day just because they were so good and why not go big while in Italy?!
We got back and were really tired (and I have a 7:50am flight the next day) so I wrote some more in my journal and Shelley got on her computer.  We called Kasie and Deanne and it was so nice to talk the four of us again!!  I really miss 225 sophomore year!  After catching up on their lives, we went to bed.
My flight came bright and early the next day and I left Shelley definitely not wanting to leave Italy!!  I wish I could have stayed way longer!  My flight was pretty uneventful.  I got back to Brighton I think around 11am and ran into Lindsay and Molly heading to the airport for Molly to fly back to California.  It was cool that I got to see Molly one last time before she went back home and I got to hear a little about their time.  I get back into my room, and what is the first thing I do?  Get on the internet- duh!  I have felt so out of the loop on everything while I have been traveling because I haven't had internet really anywhere for that long.
So I get back to Brighton and just hang out for the rest of the day really.  I wanted a chill day before we woke up super early again to catch our flight to Amsterdam.
Well I need to shower and get something accomplished today besides watching TV online, but I will post again either later today or tomorrow to tell you all about Amsterdam!!!
Ciao!
