Sono in Italia!

After a long day (or days?) of travel, I have finally arrived in Italy!

My internal clock is pretty messed up since Italian time is 7 hours ahead of Alabama time. It isn't even 5 pm yet, and I am ready for bed. Even though it is 10 am at home. Probably because I didn't really sleep last night. Ahhhh. I am even confusing myself with this jet lag stuff!

Anyway, Mom and Scotty drove me to Atlanta, the group flew from Atlanta to Frankfurt (my homeland!), and then we flew from Frankfurt to Florence.

We took a cab to our homestay... which is amazing. We met our "parents"... who don't speak much English. Uh-Oh! This is going to be a long month! And we met their daughters, who are crazy. They have that squishy stuff that makes farting noises, and they are still in the stage where they think it's hilarious.

Okay... My brain has ceased to function, so I am going to stop writing now... and probably pass out and further screw up my sleep schedule. :)

Arrivederci!

Procrastination at its finest

So... It's almost 2 AM. And I'm not finished packing. Oops.

But I have miraculously found time to make a new blog post. I am so glad my priorities are in order.

It's kind of hitting me that I am actually going to Italy... today-ish. I am almost inspired to write part of this post in Italian. Almost. But I don't want my non Italian speaking friends to feel left out. So English it is!

Okay. Time to pack, shower, power nap, and then head to the airport. Wheeeee.

P.S. I am going to miss my friends and family SO much. But 4 weeks really isn't that long. And hopefully there will be lots of fun stories for all of you to hear... or read. :)

Crunch Time!

And the packing begins...

24 hours until I'm supposed to be at the Atlanta airport to check in.

Today may be a long day.

Oh, and I'm taking bets on how many important things I'll probably forget.

AHHHHHHH.

Like Twitter, but longer... right?

So here goes nothing. I've created a blog. I haven't blogged since Xanga. Old school! I do have Facebook and Twitter, but I guess I felt the need to further expand the influence which the internet has over my life.

Anyway, I am leaving for Italy on Saturday. As in 2 1/2-ish days from now. It hasn't quite hit me yet. If it had, I probably would've started packing already. But I like procrastinating anyway. It makes life more interesting. :)
