Getting used to this thing...

Hello all! So this is my first time doing a blog so don't judge if I tend to ramble! And I will warn you now, I am going to be very informal in writing this blog, so I hope that is okay. :) 

Well, t-minus 4 days now until I depart for Italy!! It still feels so surreal to me that I am going to be spending the next three months in a foreign country, not knowing the language or customs. The hardest part so far is deciding what and how much to pack. It probably doesn't help that I am notoriously known for over packing and bringing entirely too much. But, I no longer deny this fact so hopefully I can try to break this habit on this trip. It isn't looking too promising though because almost every travel tip website advises to pack light..oops. 

For a little background, I will be studying abroad in a small town outside of Venice, called Paderno del Grappa. I am going through the CIMBA program and will be taking business classes including: cost accounting, intro to finance, international marketing, intro to law, and Italian for travelers. I've heard great things about this program, its classes, and professors so I am really looking forward to learning, making new friends, and creating memories. 

Well, I think that is all for now! Back to packing, unpacking and removing, and packing again! Until next time!
