Is this thing on???

Hey everyone!

I've never really done an actual blog, but here it goes!

I'm leaving for Rome in 8 days... which is both terrifying and exhilarating! Right now, my biggest fears include (but aren't limited to!) getting there with all these new security measures and meeting new people. My poor family! I'm sure I've been driving them all nuts the last few weeks with my little outbursts of "What if I don't make my connections?" and "What if I can't understand them?" Fact: I have never taken Italian, although a friend told me I should just speak Spanish with an Italian accent....

Here's another reason I love my family: Skype. My dad got a camera and has set Skype up. Partly because he didn't want to be technologically outdone and partly because my aunt might have separation issues, my uncle Jon installed Skype on his and my aunt Mary Jo's laptops. Picture this: my dad, my uncle Jon, my aunt Mary Jo, and my sister, all on separate laptops Skype-ing each other while they are all in the same room. It. was. epic.

Ciao for now! Hopefully, I'll learn how to really speak Italian soon...
