Almost There!

So i just got home from camp where I had a ton of fun. But one night I was lying on my bunk when I realized that everything was down hill until i leave. Camp was the last big exciting hurdle I had to cross and now its over. I made some great new friends and will only have a small window to spend time with them.

I have kinda started making a list of everything I will need abroad but its a lot and I still am not sure what i am going to bring. Everything is so wild. I only have a few weeks till I leave. Just over a month. I got the final date for when I leave. I have to be in New York at 4 on September 9th. I will flying on September 11th and will leave New york just 6 hours before September 11th. Thats gonna be so crazy.

So much has changed in my life in the last almost 8 months now. I often think everything is going wrong and I just don't know what to do. Its all so fast and I am constantly have small waves of panic attacks thinking HOW ON EARTH AM I SUPPOSED TO DO ALL OF THIS AT ONCE??? But they pass and I step forward.

I've been studying Italian with Rosetta Stone a lot and when I'm using it I can keep up really well but then when people ask me to say something in Italian, I always freeze up. Besides hello (Buon Giorno) and goodbye (Arrivederci) I know like 4 phrases:

Io sto bene : I'm good

Io ho fame : I'm hungry

Ti amo : I love you (serious)

and

Mi dispiaci : I'm sorry

I can do some other stuff but still...Its all so wild. Even still, I'm super excited even though I still dont know where I'm going yet. lol
