last week in firenze...

My gallivanting around europe is coming to an end this coming weekend unfortunately :( Although I am veryyyyyyy excited to head back to the US, i missed everyone and just everyday american things, but it is still very sad as well. I have to leave behind my two roomies Nil and Lauren, who hopefully ill see again! Nil wants us to visit her in Turkey someday so I hope to be heading that way at some point :) I will also miss Firenze and living in a city, where else can i get amazingggg kebabs at 3am with sarah and amanda just because were hungry and need a study break? hahah Ill miss the food, my host mom, and all the other people I have met here, and speaking italian! now i have gotten a little tired of always having to be in italian mode and i miss being able to know I can communicate with the people wherever i go, but it has been amazing actually using another language and i know i will miss it insanely as soon as im back for a bit. All in all this has been an amazing experience. This past weekend I went out with all my friends and we did lots of celebrating! I also got to be in the end of the year fashion show for the fashion classes at my school, because our friend Marianella was in fashion design class and asked me to be her model. of course i agreed, although had some doubts after she showed me the outfit I would be sporting for the whole university to see hahah here is just a lil sample of when I first tried on the outfit:

 so it was quite the outfit hahahaha apparently the theme was either 60's or hippie chic? clearly Marianella has no idea what they wore in the 60s because thts the era she chose, everyone had these pretty cute outfits on and i wore this. she is too funny, i do have to say our outfits were the hit of the show! I wasnt too nervous, even though one grl back stage said wow u have a lot of self confidence to wear a marianella design in public hahahahah it was so much fun, im so glad i decided to do it. I had my makeup all done up and looked a lil more like a vegas showgirl than a 60s grl but owell! heres a few pictures from later that night of our last weekend out in florence!!!
