These Last Days are the Craziest

I Can't Believe that I have only 16 days until I am at the gateway orientation. This whole "exchange" seems like something that you just talk about, but isn't really going to happen. I realize now that it is! I have been trying to pack and buy things that I need. Here is a picture of my luggage:

(Small one is the carry-on and big one is the checked of course)





 All of my friends are going to pick up their schedules this week and school starts on Monday. It is somewhat bitter sweet, but I'M GOING TO ITALY! I have been going lots of places with friends so here are a few photos:

*Just noticed that in a few days my pictures won't have American flags in the background*




   I went shopping today for a few outfits, but I was not successful. I don't think I am going to buy winter stuff because I need room in my suitcase for other stuff, and I can buy all of that in Italy. I did get my host sister Cristina her gift today! I still need to get the rest of my host family gifts, but it is sooo difficult. I want it to be thoughtful and when you are trying to find something for people you have never met but already care so much about, IT'S HARD! I just want to find something that represents where I'm from and at the same time, something they would like.

   Ok, That is the end of this post! Back to the pain and agony that is packing!

Ciao <3
