Last day in the USA....

I'm mostly all packed.  Just ran out to the store with Mom to buy some last minute things.  I have a bunch of pictures to make me feel at home, and I'm really excited to read the messages and letters people have sent me for the plane ride tomorrow.  

Getting a little nervous, but totally ready!  

Here is my address incase anyone wants to send me letters while I'm in Rome:

Tim Kasprzak

c/o JCU

Via della Lungara 233

00165 Roma, Italy

The next challenge will be carrying all of my luggage myself!  I'll let you know how the flight goes!   

One More Week....

Well, one week from now I will be flying over the Atlantic ocean on my way to Rome.  I have absolutely nothing packed in my suitcases, no Euros to my name, and I'm nervous as all get out.  I have been getting all of my official documents together and I've been shopping for last minute stuff.  I just got some shoes yesterday.  It's weird knowing that I'll only be in the states for one more week, but I'm so ready to go to Rome!

This is getting real....

So, I got my Visa on Saturday.  Basically, besides packing and getting some minor financial details together, I'm all set to go!  I leave in 20 days!  20 DAYS PEOPLE!  This is not a drill!  I'm getting really excited to go and travel all over Europe.  Leaving my family, my surroundings, and leaving St. Norbert behind is pretty nerve-wracking, but it is necessary.  I need to do this to learn more about my life and myself.  A wise friend of mine told me the other day that she was "proud of me for taking this leap of faith".  I'm happy that I did it too.....
