Officially done with the town

So yesterday was my last day of classes. John Cabot University: I will not miss you most of all. I celebrated with a little shimmy outside the courtyard.

This morning is my first study day. I spent the morning walking around, trying to make my way over to Barberini. At that metro stop, there is a church with the Capuchini Bones in it. Eventually I found it, after a detour by the Spanish Steps. That was one of the two things that I have not done in Rome that I wanted to do before I left. I say wanted, because I also did the other thing this morning: I went and hung out in the Borghese Gardens. Unbelievably, I have not done this other than the day that I took my parents over to the Galleria Borghese. It's actually a pretty huge park. Oh well. Some dogs attacked me there, and it didn't seem like the safest place. But I enjoyed my favorite cream-filled pastry from the market and watched an episode of Dexter on my iPod (the show is great so far; I am two episodes in) and studied a bit (15 minutes).

Anyways, on the way home, something happened that hasn't seemed to have occured in months: I got lost in the city. It was north of Medag, where I never am. I felt like I did three months ago. It's been too fast.
