Ta-da! I figured out how to make a blog! As a New Years resolution I told myself I'd keep a blog while I'm abroad to keep all of my friends and family (that's you guys!) updated while I'm studying in Europe for the semester! So let the adventure begin...
There's only two days until I leave for JFK Airport to spend the night before heading off to my first destination, Paris, France! It's crazy to think that it's finally happening. After months of day dreaming about what it will be like to live over in Europe for a whole semester, it still doesn't seem real to me. Maybe that's why I just started packing today... oops! Being able to walk to the Eiffel Tower, spaghetti and the Colosseum in Italy, bull fighting and flamenco dancing in Spain with some of my best friends I've met at St. John's; am I really this lucky?!
The past week I've been trying to get things together, making countless to-do lists and slowly but surely checking off the tasks one by one. Get my travel visa in New York City, check! Buy luggage, check (Thanks mom!)! Have a last night with the Bouchie Bunch, check! A night of family and yummy food at my dad's, check! And of course I couldn't leave without getting one last garbage plate!
It's been a crazy break! Countless hours spent at Victoria's Secret telling myself all the folding panties will be worth it once I'm over there, enjoying my last Starbucks (I don't know if I'll be able to handle the real deal coffee over there!), with the stress of knowing I won't be back in the city, my home away from home, for months, and not having my roommates Kimm and Brenna here to keep my head on straight while my world is spinning out of control! And now there's only forty-two hours until I'm on the plane (but who's counting, right?) with so much to do still! Last minute shopping, finishing packing, and saying "See you later" to a few last people; someone pinch me! (Just have to remember, keep calm and carry on...)
I can't even imagine what it's going to be like, besides amazing! Nineteen years old and I'm about the travel the world with a bunch of friends and going to meet so many more... I'm so thankful for having this opportunity and really thank you to everyone who has been a part of it all! Let the fun (and studying, of course! Done in four, right Dad?!) begin!!!
