It’s currently twelve twenty-seven am and in just a couple of hours I will be boarding an airplane that is flying to Europe, Italy, Milan to be exact. There really are no words to express the emotions I have been going through in the last couple of days, but what I do know is that I am a very lucky girl, of course, have a lot of expectations for this trip, yet I am traveling with an open mind. More than anything, I want this travel to open my eyes and help me learn a bit more about myself. As they say, “One learns the most when away from home.”
By now I thought I would have been pretty good at understanding and speaking Italian and brushing up on my french, but unfortunately, that is NOT the case. To be quite honest the only thing I know is how to ask someone if they are going to the movies in Italian. “Il va al Chinema?” Oh gosh if that is wrong how embarrassing! Aside from that slight disappointment in myself, I am truly excited to try all of the different foods. I’ve heard Italian food isn’t very good, but I think I can or will soon be able to either verify that statement or say otherwise.
I also can’t wait to take so many photographs and sit by the Eiffel Tower in Paris while playing the Midnight in Paris soundtrack. I will finally get to say the famous last words by London Tipton, “Little me back from Paris” with relevance. lol. I also haven’t even started reading the book we were assigned for class but oh well. Maybe on the plane ride but I really doubt I will. I think It hasn’t really hit me that I leave today to a trip that has been so long awaited. Like c’mon I will be living in Fashion Capital for the next month!! Wow! Ten year old me would have literally fainted, kinda wish I could see that actually. So when are time machines becoming a thing? Today would be great and very much needed!
Hopefully I make at least one Italian friend because how cool would that be. Who knows maybe this mystery friend that is yet to be determined will be at my wedding, that is if I ever get married because I obviously need a boyfriend first. Anyways, it’s getting late and I have to wake up in three hours so this is would be my exit. Don’t get me wrong, I will be back with many stories so mark my words!!
Buenas Noches!
