One Week

I officially have one more week here in the United States. At this point I'm really excited about leaving for Florence. This past month has been a rollercoaster of emotions-- from sad days I wish I wasn't leaving, to days full of excitement. I have a lot of last minute things to do before I leave, but I can't wait to finally get there.

I got my living arrangements last week and will be living in a flat with 5 other guys (2 per room) on the river that flows through central Florence. I tried finding my apartment on Google Earth, but the Italian addresses aren't like the US, so they are much harder to find. Hopefully everything will work out with short walking distance to school and my other friends around the city. There is no dorm at the school (Lorenzo de Medici) that I am attending, rather, there are apartments scattered around the central part of the city. The city is very small and close in proximity, so it only takes a few minutes by foot to get from one part of town to another.
