ONE MONTH Till Program Start Date! THREE WEEKS till I leave!

Sooo wow. Time this summer has flown by so incredibly fast, and I couldn't be more stoked on life! In just 23 days from now, I will be moving to Italy. I'll be on an airplane, and the love of my life will be waiting for me outside those giant airport doors :) I can't be anticipating this moment any more! Just getting to run into his arms and to be able to know that I won't have to deal with goodbyes for such a long time, WAY more than three weeks is driving me insane with excitement! This time is going by fast, especially since summer picked up and I have been traveling and hanging out with the people that I love the most. I have so much planned for the next three weeks, and I know that I should definitely be enjoying my time here while I can, and my family and friends. But it's just so hard to not think about it and want to plan 24/7! I'm still working on finding an apartment, which is SO complicated and stressing...especially since I've been searching on a website that's basically like an Italian Cragslist. Everything is in italian, I have to completely interact with the people in italian, which is much more challenging for more since the living situation is something serious...and if I don't understand something right, I can be screwed. But so far, my search continues for the perfect room in the city center of Florence with other italian girls. I know that it will come in time! The next obstacle is packing everything for a year....in just two bags. It's already SO hard for me to keep under the bag weight when I just go for three weeks...now packing for four seasons?! This will definitely be interesting to see. I am already preparing myself to make some detachments from some of my lovely clothes and boots. Ugh. Preparing everything is indeed so much fun though, and I finally feel like it's all coming together! This week is my birthday week, however it just doesn't feel the same without Massi here with me. Eight days after is his birthday...and we are just not used to celebrating apart. I will be in Disneyland though, which I know that will be absolutely amazing! And I'm overly excited, because we have been making plans to celebrate once I get there...and I know that it will make up for it :) August will literally just be the best month. I'm so extremely excited to see what these next weeks have to come. I'll be updating just before I leave! Ci vediamo!! Ciao a tutti :)
