I've been terrible about keeping up with this blog but I guess this semester has been busier than I had anticipated. In the past few days, I've been writing three Art History papers: one about Mannerism (ew), one about Venetian art, and one about Leonardo's Annunciation. But as of yesterday, I'm done with my junior year of college. Last night was the last supper and today is my last day in Florence. I leave early tomorrow morning to fly home to Florida.
Yesterday I bought a hoodie on the way home from my exam. It's immediately my favorite article of clothing. I also bought a small square piece of art from one of the art vendors near the Pitti Palace.
In a way, I'm excited to be headed home. There are people at home who I miss a lot and I'm excited to start working again because not having a job the whole semester has been weird. However, this has been the best four months of my life and I'm going to miss Florence so much.
I loved being able to travel outside of Italy but nowhere compares to this place. I'm going to miss the long wine-filled dinners, the cappuccinos, Nero's class, everyone in this crazy apartment, basically having a home in two rooms, getting a vegetarian sandwich at Natalino for lunch four days a week, going to La Loggia 983778672 times a day, walking so much every day, etc... I'm going to miss this place a ridiculous amount.
