About Me

I'm a 17 year old senior at Mother McAuley High School in Chicago. I wanted to go abroad to get more out of life, and I definitely got what I was looking for. Going abroad has changed my outlook on so many things, and it has made me more mature, responsible, independent (the list goes on). Hands down, this was one of the best things I've ever done. I started this blog a while back so my family and friends could read about my wonderful experiences in Italy!

winding down


Wow it's been a while since I've updated my blog! Sorry!! The last few days have been relaxing. No beach. No school. No walking around all day. We've just been relaxing and watching some movies. (I saw The Notebook in Italian! It was awesome! Lol)

At night we still head out to go to the center of town, but I have fun when we go out! Her friends know when I'm leaving now, and I think they're getting a little sad (I know I am). They keep asking me will I remember them when I get back to America (awww!!) I say"how can I forget you!?

So, a few days ago my host family and I went to Bari to do a little shopping. Well, I don't think "little" really justifies the shopping I did :/! On the bright side, though, I got a lot of cute shirts and a purse!

Now I only have a week left in Matera and I think about how time has really flown. When I left Chicago at the end of June I was nervous and a little sad about leaving, and now I'm sad about leaving Italy! How ironic, right? As time is quickly winding down I keep asking myself "Where will I get some good gelato now?!" Lol


Until next time, Arriverderci! :)
