So once again, I am moments away from leaving the US, heading across the Atlantic to the beautiful country of Italy. Yet this time, I am unable to read my emotions. Am I more excited or nervous? Happy or sad? This will be the longest I have been in a different country, and I do not know what to expect. After all, there is a difference between traveling and living.
Well, as not to think I am nervous (as that is very counterproductive), I will list all the things I am excited for:
- Living in the heart of Rome
- Soaking up the Italian culture
- Learning Italian, as well as Ancient Roman and Art History
- Meeting so many new people
- THE FOOD. (I am, after all, a major foodie. I cannot help but think of that first. But I put it last so as not to make it seem like my priority....)
- Being in Europe
Okay, pretty good list I'd say. Of course, these are all very broad topics (save the Learning part), but nonetheless, listing them helps ease the anxieties. Not that I really should have any anxieties. I am going to ROME. And the experience will change my life, that I'm sure of. One of my favorite things to do is dive into the unknown and see what I learn from it. What better thing to do than move to another country for a few months and see what happens?
