It is hard for me to believe that a dream I've had since I was so young is finally becoming a reality. All of my close friends and family know that I have always wanted to travel. I am beyond blessed that Saint Vincent offers trips to other countries and has so many excellent study abroad opportunities. I have never been out of the country before but that is soon about to change.

Hello everyone!
I can’t believe that, in less than a week, I will be in the amazing city of Rome! This city has been on top of my bucket list since the time I’ve known what Vatican City was! 11 other stuents from Saint Vincent and me will be traveling to Rome next Wednesday, May 18. I am super excited to take this journey with my fellow Bearcats!!

As I enter into my final week in Rome, I am overwhelmed with joy. These almost four months have been some of the best days of my life. Not only did I find my new home in Italy, I learned to live on my own, I can say some words in another language, I found THE best gelato place ever, I have seen so much history and I have made some incredible friendships. I was so blessed to be able to share this experience with the people closest to me and show them a place that I now call home. I made my way not only around Rome but to Venice, Milan, Assisi, Florence, Tuscany, Turi, Positano, Sorrento, Capri, Naples, Pompeii, Sicily, London and even Stockholm. And I met family I didn’t even know existed!

Today is Monday, Jan. 19, and it's my first day of classes here in Rome! I am studying at John Cabot University (America's University in Rome). I had my tour the other day, but today I got out of bed early and met my roommates for lunch on the Tiber campus (right across from the Tiber River), and then we started heading toward the other parts of campus.

It's day three here in Rome and, after all the walking and eating, I notice how adjusted I am becoming to living the Roman life. I arrived on Tuesday around 4:30 and was shuttled to my apartment here in the city. All of my roommates were already here and unpacking, so I had some catching up to do.

Well, it's been quite a journey to get my visa for my trip to Italy and I could not have done it without my parents. The first day we went to get my visa from the Italian consulate at the embassy of Italy in Washington, D.C. (thankfully only a 30-minute drive from home) I quickly realized I left my visa application at home. During the drive back I realized how important organization will be when I get to Italy.
After a lot of copying and many calls to the Embassy, we headed back four days later. We had all the paperwork we needed and I got the confirmation that my visa would be ready on Dec. 31. Today we set out for the third trip to the Embassy! After many phone calls, a lot of copying, two separate trips to D.C. and double checking, I received my visa!

In less than a month I will be making the trip to Rome! All my final preparations are being made and when I get home from my last exam on Thursday I will be in full Italy mode. Its been pretty difficult trying to figure out all the fine details with my parents being in another state but with all the help from Ms. Hart and even my friends this is already an experience I would not trade for anything. Just yesterday I received an email giving me my apartment address and the names of my roommates in Italy! I am so excited to immerse myself in a new culture and environment not knowing anyone or really anything. I might need to learn a few Italian phrases before I leave!
