I'm outta here!

Just finished up my last final of the semester! It's a weird feeling. I'm both really happy and really sad about leaving. I am really excited about seeing everyone again and being home but I'm really sad about leaving all the friends I've met ere as well as the experience of being here. Klaipeda has actually become comfortable to me especially in the last month and a half. I am definitely going to miss living here a lot! 
I leave Klaipeda tonight on a bus, take the bus to Vilnius then tomorrow, fly to Frankfurt then to London. I'm spending the night in London and hanging out with my friend Justin from Eastern who has been studying in Uganda all semester. Sunday, I leave London, fly to Dublin, then home to DC!
I will see all of you soon!

Finals and Flights

This sunset would be a lot prettier if it wasn't happening at 4 in the afternoon. Although getting used to 7 hours of daylight in a day will me appreciate daylight a lot more when I get home!

Finals are this week. I can't believe that I only have 5 more days in Klaipeda! In 7 days I will be home. It feels like I just got here. I have spent the last couple of days starting to do my lasts of everything. Friday was the Study Abroad Program's goodbye dinner at an awesome Classic Lithuanian restaurant. Saturday was the last weekend night at the Black Cat pub, our favorite pub in the city. Tuesday night will be our last time at the Jazz Club. Wednesday, I am going out with a few of my closer friends for a goodbye dinner. Then I leave on Friday just before midnight for a overnight bus ride to Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania where I will be flying out from. I will get to Vilnius around 4am because some people leave at 5:30. I'll probably sleep in the airport then go and grab some lunch with whoever is left. I fly out around 2. Vilnius to Frankfurt, Germany then Frankfurt to London. Over night in London with my friend Justin who has been in Uganda all semester then the next morning (Sunday) I leave Heathrow at 9am. London to Dublin, Dublin to DC!

Brewery Tour

Švyturys is pretty much Lithuania's national beer and this past Wednesday a bunch of the study abroads took a tour of the brewery which is just on the other side of the Old Town right here in Klaipeda. Check out the pictures:
