Tonight is my last night in Reno and I am just beginning to get nervous. I keep thinking about my family and friends (and pets) and how much I am going to miss everyone. I am overwhelmed because I don't know if I'm forgetting anything or if I'm packing too much. I need to leave the house at 4:15am. My plane leaves at 6am to LA where I will land at 9am. Then a six hour layover and off to Rome at 3pm. Eleven hour flight and then I will land at 12pm the next day because Italy is 9 hours ahead. It will be a long day of traveling, but I will have Rachel, who is going to Sicily, to keep me company, and another exchange student whom I don't know that will meet us at the LA airport.
For those of you who don't know, I am a Rotary Youth Exchange Student who will be spending my 2012-2013 high school junior year in Italy. I was lucky enough to be able to meet my host parent's daughter who is spending her year abroad in my city. We have hung out about four times and she has taught me so much Italian! I am so grateful to have her as a friend.
I don't think I am going to sleep tonight since I have to get up so early anyway. I still have so much stuff to do before I can feel more relaxed about leaving to go to the airport and I have no idea where to start. Beginning my blog is one check off of my to-do list!
Well, time to start getting organized and figuring out everything I need to do in the next 5 hours...
Ciao for now!
