Counting Down
I can't believe it is finally here. I leave for Siena this Saturday and I could not be more excited, nervous, scared, and happy; all at the same time! I have absolutely no idea what to expect when I arrive. I have heard many stories, read a lot of information and seen beautiful pictures of Italy. Packing and getting everything ready takes a lot more time than I thought it would. Such a process! It is so surreal to me that I am actually studying abroad. It has always been a dream of mine since I can remember and it is finally here! And the fact that I will be in Italy makes it all the better. I have not heard anything about my home stay family, but I did do a home stay a few years ago in England and it was an amazing experience. I just can't wait to get to Siena and get in the groove of taking classes and doing as much traveling as possible. Oh, and of course eat the food and meet all the Lorenzos!
