Welcome to my blog! Throughout the coming months, I will be filling this page with pictures of, adventures from, and thoughts about my semester in Rome.I am sure that with time, my life will be as glamorous as we Americans imagine Italy to be. As of now, however, all I have to show for myself is choppy conversational Italian and 78 pounds of "absolute necessities". After two late nights, three bags, and several meltdowns on the living room floor, I have completed my packing and am (gasp) almost ready to go. I will soon depart from JFK via Aer Lingus, hopping across the pond to Dublin for a cuppa (or a pinta since we're talking Ireland), and then continuing on to Rome.
Stay tuned. Ciao!

Only total wusses pack more than 24 hours in advance of a trip.
Some of us still live with parents who insist on such things...just wait until you're THAT dad.
Sarah, it's okay, I not only pack in advance-but I buy doubles of things I am still using at home, so I have them ready 2 weeks in advance! I am so pathetic!!! :) Have fun and I love this blog!!
I'm the dad and up to now I've been the one who has to pack five cubic feet of stuff weighting 65 pounds into a four cubic foot space while magically reducing the weight by 5 pounds. With temper tantrums on the living room floor comes understanding of the immutable laws of physics.
Yes you are a tool, but that's why we love you. and now I booked mark this page so I too can lead the life of a college girl in Italy, wait that sound bad, or good I am not sure.
