okay, so i leave approximately 42 hours from now, and i am so excited. my stuff is packed, good-byes are (mostly) said, and i am so ready to go. i have a few loose strings to tie up, but other than a room to clean and papers to get organized, i am done. this semester is over, and so is my time here in boise. i have been awaiting this experience to start for so long that i can almost not believe it is finally here.
the reason i am blogging this early is because i doubt i will have time to for the next couple weeks. on wednesday i travel from boise to new york, where i have a short one day orientation. i then go through zurich and end up in rome the next day. needless to say, it will be one long 48 hours. from rome i have a two day orientation where all the afs participants from all over the world congregate and get ready to start their adventures. i then take the train from rome to turin, meeting my host family at the station and driving to aosta. whew! that was tiring just writing all that down, but i am cringing at the thought of having to do it. can't i just teleport and be there in 5 minutes? ugh.
i am sure this whole experience of getting there will be a daze, and i am sure i will be so in awe of the wonderful land we call italy that i will forget half of what i am doing. note to self: try to keep your wits about you, even though not all your wits were there in the first place. i start school the day after i get to aosta, which also happens to be the same day as the fiera di sant'orso. ahhhh, what wonder and beauty will i experience. let's just hope i am awake enough to enjoy it(:
that's pretty much it for now, i just wanted to explain why i won't be blogging for a while. looking back at my first post five months ago, the nostalgia is overwhelming me. next time i will be posting from aosta. wish me luck, and send me mental waves of energy; i'll need it!
