I move out sunday!?

That's right people THIS sunday. My mother and I took Christmas night to begin to pack up the things in my room I won't be taking to Rome, aka EVERYTHING. After we went a little crazy we sat down to figure out the plan for when my brother can help me move out, when I need to pack my suitcase, and the rest of the stuff I need to do before Monday January 7th (which is only 10 days away I might add). I want to be moved out by the 1st so that my subleaser can move in as soon as she wants. This would call for me to move out this weekend, sunday being the only day that I am able to. SUNDAY, as in 2 days from now, SUNDAY!  I guess the stress and craziness of finals and Christmas over shadowed the excitement and stress of leaving for Italy. 

Christmas was wonderful, my family is very excited for me. Evidence of this is in the christmas presents I was receiving. Euros from my brother Adam, toiletries from my mother and Aunt Liz,  travel bags from my grandma, and money from brother and Brooke. I'm so very blessed to have such a supporting family!!

I have a large list of things to do this next week, and have all week off from work to do it. My last day at The Waterfront will be this saturday. It will be crazy to have almost 5 months off from work, considering i've worked there since I was 14. I know they will miss me very much :) 

I got another package from API, inside was my address, my roommates, and information about what to expect when getting picked up from the airport in Italy. The neighborhood I will be living in is Monteverde (Green Mountain). I live with 4 other girls who I may or may not have looked up on facebook, it was too tempting! I have a landline that once I get there and figure out for sure the prices on having people call me I will decide whether to put that number up so people can get ahold of me. But I will have my phone and computer to connect to WiFi to talk on facebook, skype, and iMessage. I will be suspending my phone service so I don't get charged crazy amounts of money, but will be getting an unlocked phone and a sim card once I arrive in Rome. 

In ten days I will be on a plane to set out on an adventure of a life time. 

Until next time, 

Emily :)
