Buongiorno.
The countdown is down to...41 DAYS. And there are so many things I need to get done! Visa, host fam presents, money issues, more visa stuff, etc etc etc. I always think of the most random things that I have to get done/need to buy/get signed...the list could go on and on. School is already over in my mind, even though tomorrow is technically my last day of school before break and I still have 10 entire days to return to after break (aka shoot me now).
Basically:
1. I'm ready to go!
2. I have my flight to NYC, so everything is in place (minus visa).
3. Christmas is one of the last things on my mind.
4. Italy is the first thing on my mind.
5. I'm so ready to go!
La Fine (The End...for now).

The Countdown: 2 Months, 2 Days.
Ciao,
Blogging is new for me, and so far it seems a little weird because I feel like I am talking to myself.. Anyways, I just made this because before now I didn't have too much exciting news to share...
But that changed yesterday when I found out my host family! I am soooo excited now. Everything got super real and I still can't believe I am leaving so soon. I will be living in Northern Italy in a very small town called Sarre. Sarre only has 5,000 people; it's pretty crazy that I am moving from Morganton (what I think is a tiny town) to a place a third of the size. I think it will be a great place to live, and thankfully there is a large town (35,000 people) only ten minutes away.
Now for my host family:
I have only emailed back and forth with my host dad, but from what I can tell I got a great family :) My host father, Renato, is 60 years old and is married to Rosanna. They have three children: Irene (23), Francesco (21), and Alessandro (16). I am pretty pumped to have a sister since I only have one older brother. And I think having a brother that is my age will be pretty cool for a change. They have sent me pictures of each of them plus a picture of their house (which is amazing), as well as a picture of the view from their house (even more amazing)!
My Italian....is awful. Haha I know close to nothing. I'm hoping it will get better and better as I keep using Rosetta Stone and talking to la mia famiglia. That's about all I have for now,
Arrivederci,
Emma
