I leave for Rome two weeks from yesterday.  It honestly doesn't feel real yet, but I am so excited and can't wait to take off.  I spent last weekend in Chicago saying goodbye to all of my friends which was so sad but exciting at the same time.  It started to make me realize just how quickly my trip is coming up... but also that I need to start getting ready!  Hopefully I'll keep this blog up and keep track of everything that I do while I'm gone.  From what I've heard it's bound to be a packed semester so there should be lots to share  =)
