una settimana

Today i realized that i know zero italian so i figured i should look up a few key phrases, particularly, "do you speak english," "are there any nuts in this," and "help." Thanks to worldlingo.com, i now know those are "parlate inglese," "รจ ci tutti i dadi in questo," and "auito" respectively. Whether or not i actually remember those words in a time of crisis is another thing...

I seriously can't believe i leave for Florence in a week. I google mapped my route from my apartment to my school and my daily walk will take about 20 minutes and will be a scenic one in which i walk along the narrow cobblestone streets and across the Arno River. I can't wait to cross the Ponte Vecchio bridge every day to go to class. ^^

The biggest obstacle I have yet to face in preparation for Italy is my packing situation. Go figure. How does a fashion major fit clothes for a month in Italy and 2 weeks of backpacking in convenient luggage?? Let alone leave room for souveniers. I'm going to have to compromise somewhere...sigh. I should probably get a start on that.

8 days till gelato, art, yummy food, and all that is tuscany.
