The Last Few Days

The last few days have been a crazy mix of excitement, sadness, happiness, and stress as we all try to pack, prepare to go home, and say our goodbyes! On Wednesday, we had our last day of class and our professor brought us yummy cookies and bars. Afterwards, we came home and worked on a bit of packing, last paper edits and then we went to a pub for  a bit in the evening.

On Thursday, I ran a ton of errands! In the morning I made french toast for everyone (in a desperate attempt to use up the remaining groceries). Then I sold my books, printed my paper and turned it in, and bought a few last souvenirs. In the evening, we had "The Last Supper", our end of the semester dinner. All of our professors showed up and we had a delicious meal! When we arrived we got our prosecco and then our appetizers arrive (I got calamari). We had the cracker things that you open and we did it the fancy way with crossed arms so that was really fun. After that, we were all looking ridiculous with the silly hats and told the "jokes" that were in the crackers. A bit later, our main courses arrived and I got really yummy chicken with prosciutto, green beans and roasted potatoes. Then, for dessert I got a chocolate molten lava cake with ice cream and it was delicious! We finished the night with limoncello and then we all hung out and took pictures. It was really fun and the meal lasted over three hours!

The truth of our relationship!

Afterwards, nine of us decided to walk home and it was a gorgeous night out so it was really fun to walk around and see London one more time at night!

I am going to miss this city!
