I went to my PDO on Saturday and I had an amazing time. I got to meet the other two students going abroad from my chapter and we talked about doing a fundraiser. We are going to do a profit night at a resturaunt and take in some of the profits. We also thought of a car wash together as well. I noticed I am the only person in the world who has never been on a plane! This should be the least of my worries, but I really am nervous about that. One of the things we did at the orientation was right our name tags with our non-dominant hand. So since I'm a lefty, I had to write with my right hand. We also had to draw little pictures too. When we were done, our chapter leader asked us what was tough about it. Guess what? It was a representation on what we will experience abroad with a brand new culture :)
Oh, I also found out I don't have to drive to Detroit for my visa. Instead, I can go to Cleveland and visit the vice consulate. All of this seems so involved and crazy, but I have to get everything done.
I recieved a lot of information from Italy and I read through my welcome booklet. In the booklet, I read that there is something called exchange week. This is when you can go somewhere else in Italy for a week and stay with someone else. The only thing about this is you have to pay for it yourself and I don't know how much it would cost.
Speaking of different host families, I found out that I may not be switching host families after all. We will see what is going to happen though.
Ok Ciao for now :)
