In approximately 7 hours I will officially be on my way.
With a couple layovers in between (Chicago and Frankfurt) I will be en-route to Florence to finally live this whole 'study abroad experience' that I have been dreaming of for the past six months. People keep asking me if I'm nervous or excited...and its a combination of both, but so much more than just those feelings. Its overwhelming knowing that for the next five months I will be thousands of miles away from everyone and everything I am so familiar with. This scares me. The fact that I will be completely immersed in a new culture really excites me. I'm ready for the challenge, and can't wait for this new chapter of my life to begin.
This past week I met up with some of the students that went to Florence last semester and they all said it was "life changing". The thought of an experience like this having the impact to change my life is a bit overwhelming--in a good way. Change is sometimes hard to accept, but this is a change I can't wait to experience.
Have to go finish packing! wish me luck!
(oh yeah, trying to fit MY LIFE in two suitcases and one carry-on is quite the challenge. any tips?)
