...And Counting...

So my flight leaves on Monday evening. And the list of things to do is still a mile long. As well, I find that each little mole hill is becoming a mountain. Every little speed bump is making me crash into things. I am in a constant state of worry/anxiety/fear/dread/cold feet with a little dash of excitement thrown in (thought I wish there was more excitement to anything else).

Just wanted to let you all know, that things are hectically busy here (no, that is not redundant) so I will probably be out of touch until I leave, and once I'm there it will probably take a few days for me to settle down/in and start updating y'all on my ordeal.

Keep your fingers crossed and your prayers said for me.

Love y'all...

"...A Very Good Place to Start..."

I figured I should start at the very beginning. I am going into my junior year of college at Temple University in Philadelphia. This year, however, I will be studying in Rome (where Temple University has a campus).

Since I am still in the States my journey is really beginning with many lists: lists of things to do, documents to get, clothes and supplies to buy, items to pack, etc.

I find it terribly chaotic and often nerve-racking.

I'm slightly nervous (then again, if you know me at all, you know I get nervous about EVERYTHING). But after getting the last on-line posting from International Programs about just hat is going on the first few weeks, I am slightly more excited.

Ciao for Now...
