See ya, States

So after months of planning and excitement, my Trevi Fountain coin toss from '07 is bringing me back to Roma! I've been packing like a madwoman the past few days - hopefully everything ends up fitting into my two measly suitcases - and now I'm down to my last day in America until May! It's so strange that everyone is back at ND already, and I'll definitely miss both the place and the people this semester. As much as I'm sure I'll enjoy traveling around Europe, I'll be thinking of my home under the dome all the time (and of course my home under the....skyscrapers?...too!)

I leave the house bright and early (6 am, ugh) tomorrow morning for an epic day of travel, and I can't even imagine what my life will be like living in Italy. Stay tuned, I'll do my best to keep you all updated, and hopefully this blog allows me to keep in contact with my family and friends! I'll miss you all!
