Ok, so my days remaining in this country are dwindling. As each day passes I am definately getting a lot more nervous, but at the same time even more and more excited!!! I get to LIVE in FLORENCE, ITALY for FOUR MONTHS!!!! I mean, how amazing is that?! Ok, so enough with the exclamation points, I apologize. I tend to get over excited at times. Almost exactly one week from right now my plane will be lifting off from Minneapolis and I will officially be on my way to Italy. Traveling with Emily, my good friend from home (yes, we are on the same program!) our flight is direct from Minneapolis to Amsterdam, where we will have to transfer onto our connecting flight to Rome. Once in Rome, we will find our way to the train station and catch a ride to Florence and hopefully find our way to the hotel without any snags, at least not any big ones!
I've been very busy planning for everything that is going to fit into my one suitcase, one carry-on, and computer bag. It is a lot of figuring out to do, but really fun for someone who likes organization as much as I do. (Erin, you know what I mean.) In the end it will come down to how much will really fit and then what do I see as the most important items, because I truly believe that the less I bring, the happier I will be in the end since I will have to lug it all around with me as the end of the program while I travel for about ten days with my parents. Plus, I am sure that by that time I will have acquired a few more belongings.
This is all SO exciting and at this point, I really just want to get there so that I can start telling you about all of the amazing things that I am doing and seeing, instead of just filling you in on the plans. There is so much to do over there and I'm sure it will take me quite a while to soak it all in, but that will be great because I will constantly have new and exciting things to post about!
