Final Day

It has been nearly six months since I started this exchange at the Wilmington Airport. I have had many fun times and a few not so fun times. I think all in all the experience was worth it, not for the school, not for the language, but instead just for the people I have made realtionships with. If anyone I have met within this time is in the United States, I will defintely try to meet you. As I sit in the Palermo Airport and think about the exchange, I think this was pretty sweet.

Math and Weather

So during the past few days here in Palermo it has been raining. Off and on, rain, shine, rain, shine. It has been very annoying. So today I was going out with a friend and looked outside to see how it looked, and to my surprise, not a single cloud in the sky. Of course then I happily walked out of my house in jeans and a hoodie. Later it decided rain, hard, so I headed home as fast as I could. Me, in my hoodie and jeans, fast walking almost two miles in the pouring rain. Not fun. Anyway, on to the math part. Today in school I once again had math class and was expecting to just be blown away by the weird math they have been teaching here. But nope, today we were learning about parabolas. So a week before I am leaving they decide to teach some math that I can actually understand, just my luck.

20 Days

I have 18 days until I leave Palermo. This of course makes me sad and happy at the same time. I will obviously miss the families here and all of the great friends I have made, but on the other hand I am going back to the home land. Going back to a place I know surrounded by people I know. I leave palermo in 18 days, but I do not leave Italy until two days after. I am not sure what I will be doing, but I am sure at that time I will rather be on a plane.

Christmas and New Years

I spent Christmas with a different family this year, it was weird but nice at the same time. I am back with my host family now after a week with the other family. Today is New Years Eve, I am going out tonight with some friends to celebrate. Lost the fantasy match, and yeah, that about sums up what has been going on.

Fantasy League

I had not been really paying attention to my Fantasy League, and somehow I ended up in the losers championship. I destroyed my competition last week, so now I am playing for 5th place. Not a good place, but still, better than 6th. Sean is going down

Christmas

This year I am spending Christmas with a temporary family because mine will be on vacation. This is not the first weird Christmas I will have had though. Last year my house burnt down around Christmas time and all of my presents went with the house. Christmas was not very merry last year. This will make two weird Christmases is a row.

Worst Day of the Week

Friday. Usually the best day of the week. After a long day of work or school you finally get a long break, the weekend, and hang out with friends. Things however are not so bright over here. Friday. The worst day of the week. Due to the fact that I have school on Saturday here Friday is now the worst day. Every week I think, "Oh, today is Friday, no school tomorrow". Only to then later realize that I was wrong again. You would think that I would have gotten used to school every Saturday, but I have not.  Friday is a disappointment and the longest school day. Literally the worst day of the week.
