Italian Info Packet and Interesting Info

I got the info packet in the mail last night! There's so much to read through, boy oh boy, but it's exciting.
There are some interesting things that I have already read. They have magazines and news papers in English and Italian, and movies too.

Being quick at showers is a good thing, which I am Whoot.
I think the word for tampons in any language is gross, Assorbenti interni.

Booked Flight

So I really am really GOING! My flight is now booked. On the first of September 1st from Tucson at about 8 AM and take a 2 hour flight to Denver. I'll have to stay there until about 6 PM then I arrive in Frankfurt, Germany after about a 10 hour flight and will arrive there on September 2 at about 11:30AM their time. I leave there at 12:30PM and get to Italy after an hour and a half flight at 2PM. Whoo. After that I'll picked up at the Air Port by SAI (Study Abroad Italy) and taken to my apartment that I'll be staying in. And stay up for the rest of the day unpacking. WHOOT!

I received my official "unofficial" schedule. I'm probably not going to be able to get many transfer credits for Westminster. I won't be able to ever take these classes any where else.

* Get a worthwhile digital camera AKA Digital SLR. Canon D20 here I come.
* I need luggage
* Sooooooo many other things I haven't thought of right now!
