Excited. To say the least. I can't believe how much I can't wait. I can't believe how scared I am to have so many responsibilities. I can't believe how ready I feel. I can't believe how lucky I am. I can't believe this is my life.

Okay.
Hi everyone. I would like to apologise for not posting it Italia, but A. I warned you all I might not, and B. I tried, but the computers crashed when I logged on to blog spot. I think they were just too old, causing failure. So, sorry everyone, but, in Costa Rica I will have MY computer, which is great, other than the J key, and will not crash. YAA!
Italia was amazing, as you may expect. The best part was the host stay, I thought. I Stayed with a family that lived about 30 minutes outside of Treviso, and their place was amazing! I was impressed their lifestyle, everything was so relaxed. Every Sunday my family would have all their friends and family (which is like 40 people at least) over for a big party that went from lunch till around dinner. My host sister, Enrica, was amazing, and I got to know all of her friends as well. I feel so lucky to have met them all, and learned a bit of Italian in my two and a half weeks with them.
The whole trip was spectacular, I got some time to write and read, but mostly it was fast and furious! I loved Verona, our regional director, Pino, made our short time there great. We went canyoning one day, and I got to jump off of not one, not two, not even three, but four water falls. I also had a really attractive wet suit on. (On a side note, all Italians wear swim caps to the pool. They are strange and uncomfortable.) In Verona we also saw Juliet's balcony and spent a rainy afternoon in a Italian cafe. I will try to post pictures soon of where we went, but for now, stay tuned. And believe what you will *cough cough allegra* I will be doing regular updates in the fall, so stay tuned!
