The Big Day


Well,
This is it
I'm leaving today

Yesterday I said my final goodbye to my brother and I tried my best to keep a good face on and I did, but later last night I kind of lost it. I hate crying because I just hate feeling in general. Personally I just don't like emotions and they cause nothing but trouble and disappointment, well at least for me. So I keep everything bottled up and to myself.
But today I've been keeping an adequate composure of my emotions as we drive from Boston to NYC to hang out with some family before I leave. So here are my flights...

I fly from JFK to Paris. That takes 7 hours and I have a one hour layover.
I fly from Paris to Linate in Milan. The people at STS (quest's parent company) pick me up at noon so I'll have 3 hours to get my SIM card and whatnot.

Speaking of which, I can bring my new galaxy s4 with me! There was so much stress over phones yesterday, all I'm going to say is that we switched to Sprint and they lied to us so we went back to Verizon and the guy had to unlock my phone without telling his boss. After this year, I'm going to sell my now-unlocked galaxy s4 for about $500 :)

But right now I'm actually writing this post from my phone as we're in a rented car and we're about ninety minutes away. I've been totally on and off with my emotions. One minute I'm crying and the next minute I'm completely normal, I don't know. I'll do that when I'm alone on my own time, probably in the airplane bathroom. Why am I listening to songs that remind me of my brother and I?

But other than that, it's been such a hectic week and I'm more than ready to actually sleep more than 8 hours for the first time in ages. I'm an insomniac.

That's it for now! I'll update you later! Arrivederci :)

Leaving California!

Ciao,

I write to you as I'm about 2 minutes away from LAX because I'm going to Boston to drop off my brother at college and help him move in! He moves in in a few days and I leave in 6 days!
6
Days

As in less than a week.
Is this really happening?
I'm honestly just appreciating the signs in English and appreciating what's around me because I won't see it for a year. I already said bye to my dogs yesterday and my best friend which got me kind of emotional yesterday. I'm going to miss California so much and my house and my friends and everything. We actually just arrived, so I gotta help with the bags and everything. See you in Boston!

Approved!

So I went to the Italian Consulate today by surprise. And I got there expecting more drama, but everything went so well, and I got my visa approved! They just have to mail my passport back with the stamp thing! It's official, it's really happening :)
