I can't believe it. Not this Thursday but next Thursday I will be on an airplane Italy bound. First being accepted into the program, I told myself it was next year. Then starting this fall semester I thought, "Oh it is next semester." I moved back home after finals and people starting asking when do I leave and I replied, "Oh after the New Year!" Well, it is now 2011 and 11 days until my departure. This is unreal, time really does fly!
When I first moved home from Spring Hill, I was nervous beyond belief. However, now after a wonderful Christmas in Florida with the Byrne Family, I am ready to conquer the world (Well just Bologna for now). The only thing I fret now is packing. I am an awful packer, but I have to learn or it will literally cost me. So, the plan is to only pack the necessities and shop over there. Which Dad has already approved. And of course I need to blend in, so wearing Italian clothes is the solution.
So I have 11 days to say good-byes, and I am not sure how I feel about it. It is kind of frightening for a particular loved one, but I have to stay strong and enjoy these 11 days I have left. God is always there and I have to have faith that he will get me through whatever comes my way. I am sure I will have a heart filled blog to come later.
My Italian is slowly but surely progressing, I know key phrases and words. Tomorrow my goal is to make labels for commonly used items and place them around the house. We will see how that goes, I feel like I should have started this a long time ago. . .
This is my last post until I am in Italy. Wow, my life is unreal. This is really the "Good Life."
Buananotte!
