One Week

Hello to all my beautiful followers and blog readers,

I sit here tonight in my comfortable purple chair on the lowest level of the house writing my second post of the night. I am ill at the moment (better today than a week from today) so if I have any spelling mistakes, I apologize.

In exactly one week from now, I will be somewhere over the Atlantic Ocean heading for Italy, or at least I hope. Words can't describe the anxiety that I am experiencing and my excitement to get to Italy.

Now this upcoming week, I'll more than likely be searching the house top-to-bottom for things I think I'll need to take with me to Italy. Here is what I think I'll do on a day-to-day basis this week.

Monday: Start packing my second checked bag. Possibly make a tasty Italian dish for myself since everyone will be at school.

Tuesday: Continue and finish with packing my checked bag. Hopefully I'll hang out with Logan Goldhorn, the other Rotary outbound who's going to Italy. Cagliari, to be exact.

Wednesday: Hang low. Finish up a few final things. Maybe buy a few things I noticed I don't have when I was packing.

Thursday: Nothing. Just relax and finalize everything. Maybe go out to lunch with some people in my grade, if they're feeling up for it.

Friday: Try not to get too anxious and nervous. Hopefully see some friends for the last time. And then in the PM, go to Brookings with Elliot and meet Azmon to hang out with my two best friends on my last day in America.

Saturday: Wake up (if I can sleep at all) at about 3:30 AM, get everything in order, and then head for the airport at 4:15 AM to be in Sioux Falls in plenty of time for my 6:45 AM flight. Say goodbye to my family and other friends who might go for one last time. Board the plane, Italia bound.

Sunday: Land and meet my host family. Who knows what will happen from there but I am excited to find out!

This might be one of the last posts before I leave. I'll try to write at least one more before Saturday.

Thank you for reading my blog, everyone! Until next time, ciao.
