Embarking into the Unknown

Hello all!  Here I am with my first blog entry ever.  I am starting Attraversiamo, which means "Crossover" in Italian, to document my senior year while I am away in Firenze, Italy.  I have never kept a blog before so don't expect anything breathtaking out of my writing, but I will do my best to keep you up to date on the goings on of my life in Italy.

I leave in less than a week (August 25th) and I am extremely nervous!  This experience is already stretching me so much and it hasn't even begun.  If you know much about me at all you know that I am always very organized and on top of things in anything ranging from completing papers to keeping track of the last date to return a purchase to the store.  Needless to say, I am feeling quite anxious about leaving for Italy without a roommate, an apartment, or a class schedule (as instructed by the CSU International Program) and being expected to find all three within the first week after my arrival!  I know that the experience of living in another country for a year will be irreplaceable, as everyone (I mean EVERYONE) has told me, but I can't help but have those pre-departure jitters.

  1. There is so much growth that comes from taking a new and unknown path. You are going to have an incredible time and I can assure you it will be fun! I know you'll meet some good companions over there. Bon voyage, Caroline!
