Friday
Today was one of the saddest days I have had here. Urbino is my life right now and I want nothing more than to spend more time in this beautiful city. I have met some pretty amazing people and have had even better experiences with them. Never will I forget the wonderful time here or the lessons I have learned.
Here is my final project: http://2014.inurbino.net/corpus-domini/ I worked hard on this for the limited time I had. Thank you to all the wonderful teachers and mentors who helped me get this far.
From this trip I have learned to...
1. Try to learn the language. Be immersed in the culture. Italy is BEAUTIFUL and the locals like you a whole lot more if you try to talk to them in Italian, even if it bad (believe me, that is me every day).
2. Be nice and polite when you can, but don't be afraid to get aggressive. Of course I am going to be a nice person, but if an Italian tries to take advantage of me because I am an American, like hell I will stand up for myself. You should be respected because you are human, not because of your nationality.
3. Embrace all of Italy.
ANd on a random side note, I definitely just pulled an all-nighter and I am leaving for Rome now.
Ciao bella. Ciao.
