Day 100: Live for 32

Today we got up and had our group project meeting in the morning and then Amanda and I prepared for our oral presentation for Italian. We had to create a conversation for five minutes as part of our final that included the different verbs, phrases, and vocabulary we have learned throughout the semester. We then headed to Franklin to present; we ended up getting stuck at the end of the line of groups to go, so we had to listen to everyone's reactions when they came out. Most people felt confident, but some came out saying she asked them extra questions to supplement their conversations which was a little nerve-racking, but once we finished ours she said we sounded like we were very prepared and told us she'd see us on Monday so that was a huge relief. After Italian, we came back and met with our group again and then hung out before heading to dinner. Dinner tonight was a spatzle with beef/veggies/red sauce dish we'd never had before, but it was very good and actually filled me up for once! And then for desert... tiramisu! After dinner, we all gathered out around in front of the Montarina to have a memorial and remembrance for the April 16th tragedy. It was really an awesome feeling for us to not only come together as a group, but also to feel we could be there in spirit for our hokie family back in Blacksburg. Later that evening, I facetimed mom and then headed to bed.
