"My reader, I hope, I like a friend who comes to visit, learns to mound flour on the thick marble counter and work in the egg, a friend who wakes to the four calls of the cuckoo in the linden and walks down the terrace paths singing to the grapes; who picks jars of plums, drives with me to hill towns of round towers and spilling geraniums, who wants to see the olives the first day they are olives. A guest on holiday is intent on pleasure."

got those pre-departure blues

Hey everyone! In 6 short days, I will be on my way to the beautiful country of Italia! I cannot wait to get over there, try the food, stand in awe of art, learn the language (yeah, right), and check out those infamous Italian men ;) I wish all of you could accompany me over there, but for now, skype will have to suffice.

Welcome to my online journal! I will be recording my inmost personal and embarrassing thoughts here; what happens in the blog stays in the blog. Got that? My abroad status is this: currently avoiding orders from my mom to pack, laying in my bed, and making this blog. As you can see, Augusta is very exciting. Wish you were here. I can't wait to post something of importance here! Thanks for taking interest in my life, my dear friends. I love each one of you very much and will be thinking of you constantly over the next 3 months.

Until next time, Arivederci!
