Only 7even more days till we leave... I'm SO excited!!! Today was our first official class for the study abroad program; it went good... so far as class room classes go, GET ME TO ITALY ALREADY!!!! Pretty much today was like an introduction to the 2wo subjects that we will be studying, Western Civilization I and World Geography.
I can already tell that I am really going to enjoy the Geography part of the class, today’s assignment was to map the place we were born, our favorite place, our most hated place, and a place that we fear; then he had the class compile their answers on a projected map... It was pretty cool. 
These are going to be the longest, short 7even days ever!!! Long because I'm really excited to go and can't wait to get over there, but long because I haven’t bought OR packed a thing... I'm such a procrastinators!!!! I'm still a little concerned about the British Airway cabin crew strike, which as the potential of postponing our trip a little but like I've been telling my class mates... I can get my own Sprite, as long as the pilots and mechanic's aren't on strike I think we should be good, LOL!!!!  
But yeah.... Professor Buchanan(Geography) and Coyle (History) kind of pulled a fast one on us today; I mean I know it’s a class and we were going to have assigned readings and stuff, but A PAPER!?!?!? Yeah, a photo essay is due for 'finals"..... I was like you've got to be kidding! But I guess that’s a small price to pay for a summer in Italy seeing some of the most famous sites in the world!!! 
Seriously, this is going to be a great summer \(-_-)/
