Ciao l'Italia, sono qui! Hello Itlay, I'm here! As most of you know, I was pretty devastated yesterday as well as before my flight. I was crying all day and could not stop. Well, I'd like everyone to know that I'm no longer crying. So, therefore, we've already made some progress. As I sat and waited for my plane, which left 2 hours later than it should have, I wondered how the heck I was going to make it through the next three and half months on my own. As I sat next to a mother, father, and son, I couldn't help but miss my own family and wish they too were there with me. The plane ride was mostly spent sleeping and thinking. There was no puzzles, books, or music as planned. Though I didn't sleep the previous night, so sleep was part of the plan.
When we finally arrived, all I could say was Baruch Hashem! Thank G-d! We got through customs and such rather quickly. Even our bags came out without delay. We were greeted by Temple staff and sent on a shuttle to the Residence. I will be taking pictures shortly. (I'm still de-compressing.) The apartment is cute. There's a living room, kitchen, bathroom, balcony, living room, and bedroom. The bedroom is a bit small. It consists a bunk bed and a single bed separated by one foot of carpet. There is no air-conditioner, though it is extremely hot, but there is a small fan.
As I sit and eat my tremenzini that I got at the corner store, and drink my peroni... that I DIDN"T get carded for, I wonder what it will be like. It still seems unreal. Am I really going to be here all by myself for three and a half months? Oy! Temple's throwing us a pizza party at school at 6pm.... its almost 1pm now. Campus is a 40 minute walk. Oh boy, won't that be fun every day. lol Missing everyone terribly! Facebook me!
Signing off,
Ciao Bella...
