13 days until departure.

So this is what's going on. I leave September 21st. That's 13 days from today. I have had a countdown going since, eh, July? It is pure excitement. I'm leaving and won't be back until December 17th! It will be tough, but I'm going to do it. This blog is simply to share with you, or whoever cares, interesting things I encounter. Not only will you get to hear about daily adventures, but also all of the food I will eat!!!

What am I doing now to prepare for my journey? Well... for the past few weeks I have been working and shopping buying things that "Roman" or "totally classy". It's been quite fun. I've been throwing these things in a suitcase just sitting in my room! It is so hard packing. I have to pack everything for these three months into two suitcases and a carry on.

Room's a mess. Oh well [: I need to pack lightly though, coming from a girl who says an Our Father when they put my luggage on the scale PRAYING that it is under 49.9 lbs ! 

As I travel to Europe I have a bucket list, which I will be adding to quite frequently:

1) Take classy and fabulous pictures with Eiffel Tower.

2) Throw coin into Trevi fountain upon arrival and departure.

3) Be independent (but never be alone - thanks, Mom)

4) Learn to love and enjoy Coffee and everything that comes with it.

5) Explore, explore, explore. Anything and everything.

6) Learn to not hate Tomatoes.

7) Try all kinds of food even if they have scary names.

8) Participate in karaoke night at Scholar's pub on Tuesday nights.

... more later on.

Well... I hope you enjoy! I may post again before I leave but if not, look forward to September 21st!
