The whole idea is that I can start now and develop the habit so I'll keep up with it when I go to Florence this fall. I'm not sure exactly what kind of stuff I'll "blog" about, probably my travels and a little political commentary on current EU legislation, stuff like that. Plus your standard study abroad shenanigans.
That being said, I should be upfront about my romantic notion that I will make this seamless transition into living an Italian life. That I'll make my way into the trattorias that only locals frequent, speaking flawless Italian and defying the American student stereotype in a city filled with them. It's a lovely thought, and one that keeps me buying clothing that strikes me as Italian in style (a lot of black, leather, and labels) and watching Italian language films through my netflix. I'm obsessing a little. Also, I should admit I just dropped $500 on all three levels of Rosetta Stone. Omg.
I found out today that my fall semester is actually extended by a week into the winter break. I bought my plane tickets about a week ago, but I plan on calling up travelocity or Lufthansa or whatever to see if I can change my return flight to stay until the last possible second when they kick me out of the Palazzo and send me kicking and screaming back to the U.S. until January. But who knows, maybe I'll be ready for some American stuff by then.
Come onnnn August 31st! :)
