Sono pronto!

I'm ready.

Today was stressful. I'm learning a lot about myself and how I. Hate. Packing. That is tacked on the list, right next to "I. Hate. Moving." Who would have thought trying to pack your life into a suitcase would be so hard. Right.

But I'M DONE! Hallelujah! I will be sitting on my plane to Philedelphia in just 12 hours. And in 17 hours I will be sitting on my plane to Rome...!!!

Today I said good-bye to Kirsten, my best friend since 7th grade, and we finally got to say, "See you in Europe!" How often do you get to speak those beautiful words to your best friend? (Kirsten is studying in Montpellier, France for the year and she leaves in a little over a week).

Anyway, I just wanted to update one last time before I get to Italy because who knows when I'll be on the internet next. This is also helping to relieve some stress. Whatever; I'll be in Italy soon and it will all be ok, and the next thing I know, it will be December.

OH YEAH. Send love, encouragement$, and rants to:

+1 765 252 0325
This is my "U.S. Virtual number." Call this and you pay whatever domestic fees according to your service provider, and at a lower (but still not cheap) price for me to receive the call.

+39 3357641146
My Italian number! Call this and you, of course, pay whatever long distance fees, but the incoming call is free for me. So, if you're feeling generous and want to give me (and by me, I mean my dad) a gift, call this number. But I will understand if you call the first.

Either way, Europe does have the internet, so I'll have access to email, facebook, this blog. Don't worry your pretty, little heads- you can still reach me.

I love, and will miss, you all! Ciao!
