One week left until my Italian adventure begins and you know how I feel....AHHHHH I'm freaking out 0_o! I'm drowning in a pool of emotions. I'm excited, nervous, scared, grateful, worried, anxious, happy, over joyed, and so much more. I have been planning, and talking about going to Italy for over two years and I cannot believe it is actually here. All my paper work is done, visa and passport are in hand, my finances are squared away, now I just have to say my goodbyes and pack away what will be my life for the next 4 months. (That's a bit overwhelming =/) For those who are curious below is a list of things I will bring.
