Since I didn't have to go to school today, I set my alarm for 9 because we had to leave the house at noon. Naturally, I got up around 9:30. Then I took a shower and did my last minute packing stuff, which included taking everything out, reorganizing, eliminating, adding. It was a disaster. Then we had to wait for Filippo to get home so that we could weigh it. It ended up being 12.5 kilos and it needed to be 10, so I stuffed some stuff in my pockets and called it good. The airport was an hour away, in Ancona. When we got there, we figured out where to go and checked the dimensions of my bag in one of those basket things. It fit! When we weighed it, it was 11.5 kilos, so I took out my other heavy jacket and my journal. It weighed 10.1 after that, so we were good! I was going to try to wear one heavy jacket over the one I already had on, but I decided to just let Nadia take it home. We had to wait a little bit until the security was opened and then I said goodbye to Nadia. The airport was really small so the security was fast and I sat down to wait for my plane on the other side.
I was there for about 30 minutes before the plane arrived. It was all a little confusing by myself, but I managed to get seated on the right plane! It was two hours and I listened to my ipod and slept. When I arrived, I navigated myself to the exit and found EMMA!!! We got to the car and the drive was about an hour. We talked the whole time because we haven't skyped in about a week. When we got to her house, we talked some more before dinner, talked through dinner, and then talked until going to bed. Her host family is Italian so I talked with them in Italian during dinner while Emma talked with them in French obviously. It was extremely interesting for 3 languages to be circling around the dinner table. I could understand a little bit of the French because it is similar to Italian.
After dinner, I skyped with Janie for a little bit because she's in America right now and then she had to go.
Emma has told me all of our plans for this week and I know it's going to be a great one!!
Bonne Nuit!
