Who knew how expensive flights could be? Luckily I found a deal on Student Universe. $1125 roundtrip. Not too bad. I do have a few connecting flights, though at great times. I start by boarding in Norfolk on January 7th at 1:45pm, land in New York at 3:08pm, wait for 2 hours and 47 minutes (enough time for a quick shopping trip in the city? I wish!), board again, and end up in ROME at 8:10am Tuesday morning. I finally get to Florence at 10:50am. That gives me a great amount of time to unpack before our festivities begin that evening.

While I've been on plenty of planes, I can't say I've ever taken one over the Atlantic Ocean, or even to another country for that matter. Is there anything I need to think about with regards to this? Any advice for a lone world traveler? That makes me sound cooler than I actually am.
These past two weeks I've been working on my Visa requirements. There's quite a bit to it, but I'll be done soon! All I'm waiting on now is my bank letter. I was so stressed last week about it, but the Lord is taking care of me.

Now for the exciting part - classes! I know... I'm a total nerd, but I love that I'm studying in another country. Not everyone gets that opportunity. These are the classes I'm definitely taking!
- Italian Renaissance Art (ARTH 313)
- Dante's Commedia, Selections from Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso (ENG 302F)
- Internship and Field Experience in Education - middle school in Florence (IDLS 486F)
- Exploration of Wine Culture in Italy (HM 361)
- Elementary Italian (ITAL 101F)
What was the best class you ever took in high school or college? Why was it your favorite?
