I cannot believe how fast this time has gone by. My parents visited last week for Thanksgiving which was really nice. I thought it would be a lot more difficult to say goodbye to them, but it was actually not too because I remembered how little time I have left until I return home. I am so used to traveling every weekend, but I have planned the last couple of weekends to just explore more of Rome. It feels weird not having to pack up my bags or print a boarding pass right now, and the next boarding pass I will be printing will be my ticket to America. I am actually getting excited to come back home, I really miss all of my friends and family. It’s the little things here that are difficult like transportation, ordering a meal, and grocery shopping. It will be nice to be able to do all of these things with little effort again. It is also going to be really weird not to live with my roommates here anymore. I have gotten so close to them over these past months, and it is going to be weird not seeing them every day. They were the people that made it so easy to become accustomed to life here, not as much the ISA program. Not seeing them is going to be so different. Either way, I really cannot wait to get back home but I will definitely miss Rome.
