April 11

Usually on Thursday afternoons, I do my "it's the weekend!" dance. The last day of the school week always reminds me of Friday afternoons in high school: leaving school feeling free, looking forward to a football game that night and dinner out with the family. Today, though, didn't feel that way because we have a day of makeup classes on Friday. I have a growing to-do list of things to prepare for the end of the semester and I was anxious to get a lot done this afternoon. To ease our study abroad sorrows, Kelsey, Alex, and I tried a new (to us) restaurant in Santo Spirito for dinner. It was lovely conversation, people watching, and food.
