the clock is ticking!

Now that I'm out of school, I can really devote all of my time and attention to this trip! It's still unbelievable that this is all happening to me...and with only about 26 days to go! Whoo hoooo!!

I have received so much information in the mail (all at once too) and right now I'm taking the time to read through it all. I'm learning more about my country, the do's and don'ts of being a host daughter (ohh that sounds soooo cool), and what and what not to pack when I go!

Thank you to everyone that has chipped in and made it all the more possible for me to go abroad! I appreciate everyone soooo much :)! And I will definitely keep blogging up until my departure and once I am in Italy!

Until next time, Arriverderci! :)
