Airplanes & Adventures

I finally booked my flight! I am officially counting down to my departure. I can't wait to officially be a student at the American University in Rome. I will get three days of orientation, a semester kick off party, and then my first class begins! Luckily I only have class Tuesday,Wednesday, and Thursday. Maybe it's more like half school and half vacation? I'm okay with that :)

After school is out, I am incredibly lucky to be going on an eastern European tour with Topdeck. Our itinerary is packed with adventures as I travel through:
    • Venice, Italy
    • Vienna, Austria
    • Budapest, Hungary
    • Krakow, Poland
    • Prague, Czech Republic
    • Berlin, Germany
    • Amsterdam, Netherlands
    • London, England
I am so excited and blessed for this opportunity. I could sit and write more about how I can't wait to go, but I'm also trying to spend plenty of time at home with the people I love before I leave! 132 days is a long time. It will fly by and I plan to cherish every moment before, during, and after.

I found a very fitting quote today. Yes, I have a cheesy love for quotes. You'll get used to it! I just think that sometimes other people have already found the perfect words to describe what you want to say, so why not borrow their wisdom? Anyway, it said... "Never give up on a dream just because of the time it will take to accomplish it. The time will pass anyway." That said, I like to think that time is relative and dreams are reality :)
