Well, I made it. After what seemed like the longest thursday ever, I have finally arrived in Perugia, Italy! Right now, we are staying in the very nice Gio hotel (just for tonight). Tomorrow we are getting our apartments and moving in which should be exciting. I've already met the girls I'm living with and they seem nice. All of the people I've met so far in the program are nice. I'm really excited to see the city since when we got here it was already dark and you can't really make much out of all the darkness and a few lights.
Italy is not exactly as I expected it. One girl and I decided it looked like a strange Florida/California combination, especially since the airport was very Orlando-like and there were even a few palm trees. The weather is lovely!
I'm so glad I don't have to fly a long flight for another 4 months. I don't think I could take it again. I probably got 1 hour of sleep for the whole day and so. Right now it is nearly 10pm and I should probably go to bed but I'm having a cell phone dilemna.
Upon calling my mother, I realized that I could only hear her and she couldn't hear me. We tried several times but nothing. So now they're trying to replace my phone. Ugh.
Oh well, at least I have all my luggage and everything is fine in that sense. I probably need to just go to bed and get some rest. We have a long weekend ahead of us. We got our class schedules and I'm not all that satisfied... I did get all of the ones I wanted except one and I'm not sure why not. I looked at the schedule and unless the class filled up, I should be able to take it without a problem-- we do have a registration day so at least I can drop the class they gave me and work around it.
Well, I know that was long winded and not all that organized but I should be going to bed and dealing with all these crazy e-mails. I can already tell how out of touch I am going to be with everyone and everything this semester!
Wish you all the best!

I was just thinking about you this morning, wondering when you'd be in Italy (for some reason, I forgot what day you left!)...I'm glad you got there safely, I'm REALLY glad that the girls you're living with seem to be nice, and I hope you get your cell phone issues sorted out soon!
Have a BLAST this semester!!! :D
I got your im, and your phone message... it has been hectic here, and I can already tell I'll barely be in the room ever this January, so we might have to play im tag :P I hope you were able to get my phone message... I was not sure if you'd still be able to get messages from your regular phone. But the gist of it was I love you and miss you, and good luck/have an amazing time!! Talk to you later!
Barcelona airport was weird like that too, with the palm trees and junk. Ahhh I miss you.
