Finals are over and I am now in Rome. I spent my day saying goodbye to all the friends I made at the Villa and traveling. As a final goodbye from the Villa staff we had a BBQ last night. We danced, had a bonfire (built over a well), and reminisced over the great semester we had here. Our Italian professors came and during the bonfire we burned our Italian books. Mine kept yelling that it was a crime against culture. But seriously the books are set up horribly and are useless without a teacher.
The students from BC that were studying in Spain also came to the BBQ. We played a very physical game of soccer on our small patch on grass and we kept kicking it so hard that it would go over the neighbor's fence. She was getting pretty mad at us; I think she is happy we finally left.
We did a traditional Italian dance and I was paired up with my Italian teacher and he is awkward anyways without having to dance with his students. Everybody was asking him questions though because he wouldn't answer any of them while he was teaching us. So he looks REALLY young, like 12, and I already knew how old he was but he still looks that old. Well one girl, Ni, asked how old he was, he replied, "26." She replied, "REALLY? you look like you are 18!" we all started laughing about how mean that was but then another girl, Kate, one ups her by saying, "Do you even grow facial hair?" He said yes, but I am pretty sure that is a lie. There is no way that he could possibly grow ANY facial hair, I have more peach fuzz on my face than he does. The one question he wouldn't answer was if he had a girlfriend. He did tell us where he lived though. The other Italian teacher left early for a date so poor Giovanni was stuck in a group of 22 girls and 4 guys.
To end the night we watched the movies I have been making this whole trip. I will show everyone when I get home, they are too large to put online.
