6 days and counting!

So, I have been packing and getting all my things together and some people have been asking for my mailing address so:

Amelia Ekus

New York University

Villa Natalia

Via Bolognese, 10650139

Firenze, Italia

So that's where I have all of my classes, it is slightly outside of the city. I think it's funny that it's on a street called "Bolognese" but that's just me. 

You really shouldn't mail anything though, because its very expensive and it takes forever. I am planning on writing letters which is fun, but no packages or anything ok!

I have been packing and preparing up a storm. I have to read all of my guidebooks and Room with a View now, because I don't want to schlep them all the way to Europe, so I am reading nonstop. I'm also reading cookbooks in preparation! 

I have a trip planned already to Sienna and Venice with my dad and Leslie for March, and hopefully plans for Sicily will follow! The excitement is starting to build but it still hasn't hit me quite yet. I fly out of Boston at 4:30 on Monday and get in to Frankfurt at 5:30 in the morning! Then I have to wait all the way until 8, and I get in to Florence at 9:30. I've never been to Germany so I guess I'll have to live it up in the airport for a while before I take off. 

Anyway, I'm getting a cell-phone once I get over there and I will post the number, but it is cheaper to call from the United States to Italia than vice versa so I will be keeping that in mind. The best way to contact me is through e-mail or Skype. 

I am going to get back to my reading. Ciao!
