So the last couple days have come with lots of things getting done and lots of things also going wrong. I have changed my wardrobe for Italy, hoping to make myself look less like the American that I am, and blend in with the Euros. I went to the bank a few days ago to gain some Euros as spending money for cab fair and food once we land (my dad promptly told me they looked like monopoly money, and not very good monopoly at that). I also figured out how I am going to deal with money in Italy (yay ATMs!). Lastly I also got all my books in the mail and I'm super excited to read just about all of them!
However with most of these things now figured out there was the bad news. First, my friend who I was supposed to meet in France after the Italy program is over is now not going to France for the summer. Now me and my friend have 5 days to do things in France with no agenda there. While there is the bonus of just traveling France and doing whatever, I will not be able to see my friend over the summer now. Also I may be able to see my other friend in Spain during this time, so I guess it equals out in the end. Second, the Detroit Red Wings, the best sports team in the history of forever lost in game 7 to the San Jose sharks last night, and I am still in morning as of today. :'( Horrible, horrible things.
Now I must focus on the most dreadful part of my pre-journey adventure...Packing. I shall let you all know if I survive this ordeal sometime in the near future. If you don't hear from me know that I thought highly of all of you, and remember me fondly!
