I am so so so excited if nothing else to experience good food and warm weather for 10 days. We are going to spend 2 nights in Venice, 4 nights in Cinque Terre, and 4 nights in Rome.
I think I'm most excited about Cinque Terre. It is a string of five tiny islands connected by hiking paths. It was named a Unesco World heritage site, and when the Italian government realized what a treasure it was, they banned any modern buildings from being built so there aren't even any large hotels there. The populations on the islands range from 600 to 1850. The pictures look gorgeous and I'm praying that we have sunshine while we are there. Cinque Terre is the home of pesto so I know that we're going to get some great food while we're there. The hostel that we are staying at even has an organic restaurant attached to it!
The time leading up to leaving for vacation is going to be pretty miserable though. We have midterms this week and even at Czech community college that involves some studying. I'm not too nervous for two of the three, but I'm pretty nervous about my philosophy class. My professor for that class is really terrible. He doesn't explain at all the very dense information that we are reading and I have no idea what kind of questions he's going to throw at us on the exam. He sent us a study guide and it says that the exam will include 10-15 short answer questions and 4 long answer questions all to be completed in 75 minutes. That's a lot to ask on exam and I'm not even sure that my hand will be able to write that much that fast!
On top of studying, I have to get ready for my trip! I have shopping to do and a lot of reading to do about the towns we are visiting. Hopefully this stressful week will make spring break that much more relaxing and enjoyable :)
