I just landed in Florence about six hours ago.  It is absolutely beautiful here, I am still in schock that I am even here and am just trying to let eveything sink in.  I have orientation for school tomorrow morning.  My apartment is huge and i couldnàt expect anything more from it.

I am leaving for Italy in eleven days! I am beyond excited for this experience of a lifetime! I hope that I can figure out how this blogging thing works so I can have everything I do there documented.
