It's been a while since my last post, and I had meant to make a post last week. December 6th marked the 1 month period until I leave for Italy. Now it's 20 days left.
Taylor and I confirmed that our first trip out of Italy would be Paris, France. Imagine: a weekend in Paris!
I also officially have a roommate. We met through the facebook group of the program and hit it off great so we thought we'd work as roommates and requested it! :) I'm really excited about it!
Alsdfkdfh;l, I don't really have much thoughts about anything currently. Either due to recovering from finals, the fact my excitement usually doesn't hit until right before, or whatever.
64 days until Italy!
I glanced at the countdown counter on this blog, and I realized that it's past the 75-day mark and I'm getting more and more excited! (And nervous, but I'll deal with that later, haha.)
I finally got my visa set and I'm due to pick it up in 10 days or so! And this upcoming week, I am on a mission to get all the signatures from academic advising, housing, the registrar, financial aid and study abroad office to sign off on the status form which is basically for "i'm leaving next semester for study abroad but don't forget about me because i'm coming back". I'll be done with that by Wednesday.
Then that's it. All the paperwork will be done. All the work I've done for the past 5 months - done.
And then my school has a mandatory study abroad meeting at the end of November/beginning of December for all those who are study abroad.

Classes and visas, oh dear.
So I signed up for all the classes I had hoped for and best of all I don't have any classes until 10 AM and my latest class gets out at 5 PM and no classes on Fridays! This leaves tons of time to explore (after I do my homework of course) Rome and Italy and beyond.
I had my visa "meeting" yesterday. It wasn't even a meeting. It was more like talk-into-the-window kind of thing. Where you speak into a circular hole in a window at a desk. It was SO difficult to talk then. And then I got turned away because I needed two more docuents that I wasn't aware of. They needed bank statements (not just affidavit of support which I had) and "current enrollment. I handled getting the current enrollment document as soon as I got back yesterday. So now my dad is coming with me to visa office when I go again next week... oy.
