I'm not quite sure who reads this blog. So far, I think I'm the only one who reads it...and I'm the AUTHOR. But to anyone looking to study abroad, never, ever, EVER read random review websites about studying abroad. You'll psyche yourself out. I'm dead serious. Review sites tend to only give you the few, rare, dreadfully horror stories about studying abroad. They tend to skip over the hundreds of thousands of happy stories coming from students with amazing experiences abroad. And with my over active imagination, I tend to visualize the worst case scenarios and work myself up over nothing. But the biggest thing I am the most terrified of happening? Switching host families. The pure concept makes me shake. Having just gotten my host family, I already love them and can imagine all the great experiences I might experience with them. And I hope they like me. I'm just scared that when I get there I might do something wrong or upset them that causes me to get a switch. Not that I think that's going to happen. That's just the nerves talking. Right now, my host sisters and I have been facebooking each other nonstop, making me count down the days till when I get to meet them face to face. I feel so blessed to have been placed with such a great host family. I just think that with Italy being so close, my brain has finally realized that this is a reality, causing it to realize just how long I am going to be away from home. All the people I'm going to miss. And now my mind is playing tricks on me, making me doubt myself. >.< stupid brain! Be good! Anyways, I AM actually really really excited about studying abroad. My town's amazing, the school seems great, and my family is perfecto. I really couldn't ask for a better placement. So bad thought be gone! And make room for a semester of life long memories. ;D Ciao!
