I think that today is going to be one of those days that feels out of control. So many things are going through my mind. I feel like I have so much to do in the next 52 DAYS! I have been making a packing list, learning more Italian, and trying to hang out with as many people as possible. I always have that voice in my head that says " Shante'! What on Earth have you gotten yourself into?!?" but I tell that voice to keep it's mouth shut! :)
It is only natural to be nervous before you go on the greatest journey of your life, but I know I am more anxious than anything. I have been thinking lately about why AFS is the best orginization to go abroad with, and I believe I know why. AFS sends you to a place you have never been, with no family member by your side, but at the same time you don't feel alone. They give you so many resources and ways to connect with other AFSers that you never feel all by yourself. I can't even begin to mention how many great friends I have that I haven't even met yet. I have friends all over the USA, in Italy, and several other countries! This experience is already the best part of my life so far. I am a very lucky girl.
Ciao!
