AYUSA's group on facebook+me being nervous about Italy=hours on facebook talking to other exchange students.

Bethany:

true that :) sometimes it seems like if everyone took some time out of there lives to expierience other cultures the world might be a little more peacefull...

Me:

well everyone has to start with a group of people right? maybe were leading the way for everyone to experience this:P

 

All these exchange students that I have met through this facebook group are all a GREAT bunch of people, and most seem to have similar interests and views as I do, as far as the world goes and learning more about it. (obviously since they are going to go travel it alone for a year, they must be at least a little interested)

 

SO..

for some boring information..

I have started my global student class.. yay? I looooooove writing essays and stuff.. mah fave <3
its pretty informative though, and I've learned quite a bit so far.. even though I'm only three modules in.

(even though I've been working really hard for like 5 days now, haha)

 

I just wish it was September 10th already so I could be in Italy!

 

that's all for now errrrrone!

 

parlare con te presto!:)

Stephanie

Germany..? :S (and then some)

sooooo. I knew I was going to be leaving on September 9th..

HOWEVER

I now know the exact times..:)
I'll be leaving Washington D.C International Airport (Dulles) at 7:07 p.m. on September 9th.

landing in... wait for it... Frankfurt Germany (?)    at 9:10 a.m on September 10th.

dont even ask me how I'm going to survive that..I could hardly stand a flight to Florida..and that was less that 2 hours.

okay, anyway!

I leave Frankfurt, Germany at 12:50 p.m. (September 10th)  to go to BOLOGNA, ITALY.  I will arrive at 2:05 p.m on September 10th.

I'm a few hours short of one solid day of flying..can't wait guys :/
and since I KNOW you're interested..the name of the airport I'll be arriving in is named Guglielmo Marconi (Borgo Panigale)

In Other News :)

Since I last wrote its pretty much just been a LOT of waiting and researching and learning Italian and blah blah blah.. the boring stuff!

I've recieved a few packets from AYUSA as well as a few emails.. pretty much all just stuff about culture shock and how my flight situation is going to go and other stuff I've read alllllll too much about..

it gets a little irritating to wait so long :(

oh last little piece of information I've got.. I get to start my online Global Student course on June 23rd.. so that'll be pretty nice. I think it's suppose to help me prepare a little more and to understand how things are going to work a little better. I'm not exactly sure though:S.. Well I'll be sure to write after that and keep posting!..

Grazie
