If you never see me in the States again, it's because I've fallen madly in love with Italy and decided never to leave. Just kidding - but really, it's beyond beautiful here. As the plane from Frankfurt finally floated above Italy (after almost 16 hours of travel) I couldn't help but smile. It seems that almost everywhere you go, whenever you are about to land somewhere, everything below looks about the same. I mean, yeah New York, it's more lights and fewer trees, but generally it's green, or patches of land and an airport. But Italy, you see the mountains that literally seem to reach up to the heavens and right next to them is the bluest water you've ever seen. For a girl from a landlocked state it's pretty darn exciting to get mountains AND water in the same package!
After an in-depth check-in process, I got to our apartment/off campus residence. There are 12 girls total, but I'm in a bedroom with just one other girl. We have big beautiful windows, a small porch, a tiny kitchen (with a washer in it!) and a few bathrooms. The apartment itself is pretty simple, but rather spacious and quaint. The best part is just what's outside. I can hardly believe I'm sitting on my computer looking out on a perfect blue sky, some random Italian apartment with beautiful flowers and a perfect breeze blowing through our brown shutters.
I'm posting pictures now. The only downside - my stomach is confused as hell about when I'm supposed to eat next, but I shall survive. After all, it's Italy - nothing could really be that bad. :)
