In just a few days I will be flying over to Europe to study abroad in Florence, Italy for 3 months and 18 days. I am studying abroad through Syracuse University and will be living with a host family. I don't know who that family is yet or who my roomate will be, but I am so excited.
I figured this blog would be a good way for me to chronicle my thoughts, anecdotes, pictures, and stories from my experiences in Italy and throughout Europe (I'm hoping to travel of course). We have classes Monday through Thursday, leaving us Fridays free to lengthen weekend travel or exploration of Firenze!
The past few weeks, well acutally, months, I have been reading about Florence, watching travel DVDS, and novels, and looking at pictures..hard to believe my time has finally come to experience it myself!
Tomorrow is my last day in San Diego as my mom and I are flying to San Fran on Saturday morning to spend time with Patrick in the city. I am very excited because some Santa Clara friends are also joining us for dinner in the city on Saturday night! I can't think of a better way to leave the country than to see some friends who I have been missing all summer.
Enjoyed my evening tonight meeting up with a friend from high school at Torrey Pines State beach, and capturing a beatuiful San Diego sunset as well as having dinner with my parents at Souplantation :-) They definitely will not have that in Italy.
