This is our last week of classes and final exams are coming up fast.  Today is our last day of classes before we take our exams tomorrow.  We have three handwritten exams in a row, each two hours long.  Yesterday, was somewhat uneventful.  We slept in late until it was time for class, endured through hours of boring classes and returned home around 5:30.  I went to dinner with Amber, Becca and a bunch of the Dickinson group at a nice Italian restaurant that is close to the Mexican place where we ate before.  Apparently, its a good area for restaurants.  It was a delicious dinner, and though expensive, it was still relatively cheap in comparison to most of the other restaurants in Florence.  On our way home, the whole group stopped for gelato (ice cream) and I got a scoop of snickers and a scoop of chocolate mousse.  I was sooo full, but I found room somewhere. 

As we were walking home, Becca, Amber and I decided that we wanted to ride the carousel in the one palaza that we pass on the way home.  The rest of the group continued walking home, while we took a ride.  Of course, it was only as fun as you can make it, but we wanted to enjoy one of our last nights in Florence.  As we walked home, we stopped at the Irish pub that is down the street from our hotel to watch the soccer game that was playing. Our one professor is from Sweden and Sweden was playing Russia to stay in the EuroCup tournament.  We showed up for a few extra brownie points, but to no avail because Sweden lost 2-0. 

Today and tomorrow will be mostly composed of studying and preparing for the exam.  Not much fun, but we have a big going-away dinner friday night, and leave early morning on Saturday for the Netherlands for the next program.
