I cant believe the semester is almost over!!

Yesterday was our day for final exams. we still have a couple of projects due on mon. that i still need to do some work on. but instead i'll catch up on this thing. the exams were pretty easy, but it was terrible getting ready for them. that morning was soo rainy and miserable and i got soaked. i think rome is going to float away. the tiber is flooded so much i dont think we're going to see the sidewalks again before we leave. i cant believe we're leaving so soon. Megann left this morning and Rachel is leaving tomorrow. A lot of people are leaving next weekend, so hopefully i will get to see them that night when we get back from amsterdam. i am so excited about that trip!! i will be there in 3 days. but when we get back we all have to pack up and leave and stay in the london airport for 20 hours on a layover. not worth the money to go into actual london. maybe then i will actually sleep on the plane on the way home. i did not on the way here. i can't wait to see everyone when i get back. anyway, last night the quinns had a huge end of semester party at their place and everyone was there. davide and emilio and barbara and samia and their families. (they all work for the center). and there was sooooo much good food. i stuffed myself. but the party was right after the tests so it was only like 4 when we were there. i thought it was so late and i looked at my watch and it was 8. ha. we're going to climb the dome of st. peter's on monday, hopefully, since its been so rainy and i want to go when its a clear day. its really nice today, but saturday is so busy there. anyway i better go do some actual work now.
