I now have only about 168 days to go. So far, I can go the whole day without even using any English and my main thoughts are in Italian. I can't wait until I am fluent!!! I can feel myself getting closer as I understand more and more Italian, but I am still not quite there.
In these 131 days, I have made great friends. We are already planning for them to come stay with me next summer!! I hope it all falls into place and I hope that I will stay in touch with my Italian friends and family forever.
I have also been thinking about how much I have changed and will be changing. I can feel that I am more social, though still very very shy, and I have striving to overcome my shyness by the end of this year.
But anyway, this is mainly just a post to show how long I have been here, and how long I have left.
My FIRST day in Italy.
New Years Party.. I gained weight :( Haha. But I'm working on getting it off now! :D
And there went the hair :P
There is already a major difference in how I look...
HOPES:
- Lose the weight I gained
- Achieve FLUENCY in Italian
- Gain self confidence
- Prepare for college, work, etc. for my return to America
