I have officially been in Milan, Italy for 3 whole months. I arrived September 5 and it is now December 5. I still wake up in the morning and can't believe I'm really here. I am really learning a new language and culture and making a ton of incredibly amazing friends! It's so surreal! I have laughed uncontrollably and I have cried. I have wanted to just curl up on the couch and watch t.v. in ENGLISH with my mom and I have wanted to stay out until 3 in the morning (wait, I did that ;) But this experience is so amazing and I can't imagine what I'm going to be like when I'm finished. More confidence? I don't know. But I do know that my Italian is developing very well and I will have friends and family here forever.
With the Christmas season starting, I know this is going to be difficult, but I hope to push through it and have a great Christmas with my family!!
Pretty, huh?
Merry Christmas!!!
