Well this is it everyone! The last day in Arizona! We're all sad because there is no way we are ready to go back to Elon. We started the day out early again, going to the library right after breakfast. It was awesome today though, because Tammy and me went to a section of the library called the Special Collections. It's a separate building next to the main library and it holds all the books and articles that you're not allowed to take out of the library. So what we had to do was fill out a form for each of the books we wanted to look at, then the lady told us each which desk to sit at (we couldn't sit at the same desk), we had to lock our bags up.
We were allowed our laptops and our phones, but we weren't even allowed to use our own paper and pen! If we wanted to write something by hand, we had to use what they provide! It was really cool though, it felt like we were in the forbidden section of the library in Harry Potter. I'm really glad we went to the Special Collections though because I actually found a book that helped me the most with my final project so far! We spent the whole morning in there and finally left around 1 in the afternoon. We were on our way to lunch when we spotted the campus book store. It was the biggest campus store I've ever seen. So much bigger than the one at Elon! They had great clothes, books, they sold Toms and backpacks and basically everything. It was amazing. I ended up buying a really cute U of A shirt! Then we grabbed some lunch and went back to the hotel.
When we got back to the hotel, Tammy, Ana Sofia and I all went into the pool for a while. It was so nice in the water. First off, it's a heated pool, so that in itself is wonderful! Second, the sun was shining and it was so nice outside. It was the perfect pool day and I'm so glad we got to enjoy it. We finished the afternoon by jumping in the jacuzzi for a bit, and then we went back to our rooms to clean up for dinner.
For our last meal here in Arizona we went to a place called El Minuto cafe. Naturally it was a Mexican restaurant and it was absolutely delicious! I'm definitely going to miss the food here. We went home after dinner and then spent a little more time in the hot tub. We were planning on going to karaoke tonight, but you had to be 21 to be in there! We were not happy about that. Finally, it was time to pack up before leaving in the morning. It's hard to believe that our course is finally over. We have learned so much in such a short amount of time, and I'm so grateful for having this opportunity. I've gotten so much closer with all of my International Fellows after going through this entire amazing course and I couldn't be happier. I hope so many more people with be able to do this course because it really is so worthwhile. It's been real, but it's time to go back to reality. Thanks for reading! I'l see you all next time!
