Benvenuta all'Italia!

Wow, I cannot believe that I am actually here! Already there have been so many adventures! I unfortunately haven't been able to post much because things have been so crazy trying to get things prepared for the start of school. In fact, in just a moment, my roommate Deborah and I are going to do shopping for school supplies and other essentials. So -- alas -- I shall have to depart soon. And you know what else? I have been trying to send an email en masse but (alas again!) something is weird with my remote connection so I haven't been able to send it yet. But I will soon!

Eep! I have to go. **Ciao tutti!**
