I sent my visa stuff of a few days ago, I know I procrastinated until the last few days I could get it in and be okay but I'm still really nervous! I hope 62 days is enough and that the girl behind the counter got everything right. GOD! PLEASE!

Visas and Finances

So I have all of my papers together to take down to the honorary consulate on Thursday to get it all signed, then I'll send them all off to San Fransisco. I'm a little nervous about it all. I'm scared I wont get it all in time. I thought I had it all under control but guess not as well as I thought.
I had to change my schedule because Museum Management was canceled, so I'm taking an intro to Anthropology instead, I'll still have a long weekend but it'll be 3 days instead of 4. Which means I can still travel just not as much as I had wanted. Oh well. BUT, my uncle got me a 3 country rail pass for my birthday, he's super awesome. I'm thinking, Italy (of Course), Austria, and I don't know what the third will be.
I've found someone to live in my room and take over my rent while I'm away. I'm a little nervous about that too. But I'm sure it'll be fine. She seems like a good person, and I had her sing a little contract.
Then lastly, I was at the bank today and talked to a banker about money in Europe and we went over some options and he told me a really great, and imaginative idea. I'll open an account in Italy and then when I need money my mother can transfer money to me through pay pal. Cheeeeap!
I'm so excited, It's all getting so very close. WOW.

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.
NO Peanut butter my oh my!
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.
I need more money...

I can't wait!

P.S. "Dear Shannon, I love you." BTW I'm not syaing this any more until I'm in Italy.. lol

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!

Class Schedule

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.
