... but Istanbul tomorrow!!!! Sorry for the lack of posts -- soon I will post you some examples of what I've been working on the last few days (lots of powerpoints...)
[I'll post pictures when I have more time, and am not running off to see monuments for the last time!!! mi despiacha!]
1) Which are all finished! All four of my presentations went pretty well this week -- in case you wonder what I'm actually studying (maybe you don't), my topics were Islamic medical influence on western medicine, a novel about immigrants to Italy, a group presentation about the Pamphili family (SUCH A SOAP OPERA!), and a ten minute individual presentation on madonelle (Roman street shrines to the Virgin Mary). Lots of late nights at the Rome Center's air conditioned library...
2) It's my last day in Rome. I am very sad, and frantically eating as much as I can, as well
3) Really sweet last roommate dinner! Maggie made pasta, Kate made caprese (mozzarella, tomato, and pesto!), Yuting brought DELICOIUS PIE from Forno, and I made a tomato, buffalo mozzarella and vinegar salad that only I ate... I LOVE YOU ROOMIES!!
4) Buona fortuna to Mamma Mia and Daddy Dia on their trip back to Shoreline! Fly safe!
5) Liz, if you read this in time, do you still like balsamic vinegar...? D:
6) Am off to possibly buy birkenstocks, write postcards (yikes, do i have anyone's address???), see the Spanish steps, get coffee, see my favorite church Santa Maria in Trastevere, coffee, see the Pantheon and some French church, pack, last all group dinner (at the "best restaurant in Rome"? according to Prof Lisa?), see the Trevi fountain, maybe Pantheon again, sleep, see sunrise, and then on the bus to the airport at 8:15a tomorrow morning. Don't worry, I wrote that all down on paper so I can remember where I'm going in my sleepy haze. ;)
7) Miss you!

Buonogiorna Caro S. Nipote Molly, I am so deplorevole that your wonderfully awesome study abraod is coming to an end. I am going to sooo miss your Roma blog.

(you know.. like in the soap opera family??) I hope the bus ride to Istanbul is filled with fun and maybe a nap.. :) Ti amo grandemente! :) xo a.p.
ReplyDeleteHey Molly! We are home in Shoreline and already in mourning about our Europe trip being over - we want to go back ASAP!! Both bought birkenstocks - such great prices! :) Sounds like you were wrapping things up wonderfully. Try to send an email if you get a chance but if not we'll assume all is well! Enjoy record sweltering heat wave in Europe!!
