HOST FAMILY INFORMATION HAS ARRIVED!
Hii!!!!!! I'm so pleased to be able to say that I now know where I will be going in Italy as well as who I'll be living with!! I'm going to Bosaro, Italy which is in the Province of Rovigo...in the region of Veneto! Bosaro is up north, at the top of the boot. It's a small village with a population of about 1,569. So small, I know! BUT, only 45 miles away-ish is Venice, which I'm sooooo excited about! I've always dreamed about going to Venice and I'm so happy that my host town is located so close.
Bosaro is more rural vs. city-like. What's awesome though is that the city of Rovigo is only a few miles away, and I will be attending high school in Rovigo. It's like the best of both worlds. Rovigo has about 52,793 people. It's hard to tell exactly what it will be like, I just can't wait to find out!
My family includes a mother, father, grandmother, two sisters, and a little brother. My oldest sister is my age, but I won't actually get to meet her because she's spending a year in Hungary with AFS, ironically! My other sister is 14, and my brother is 10. I spoke to my sister a couple days ago and we decided that we'd still get to know each other and keep in touch with skype and such! She's so nice, and she's going to tell me about her school, family, and city soon. I emailed my dad as well and he speaks a little english. They all seem incredibly sweet and it just makes me all the more excited to meet them! I also received some information about my high school including the web page, but I couldn't find much out because the whole page was in Italian! So that will be a surprise.
I know I keep talking about all this excitement I'm feeling, but I'm also crazyyyy nervous too. It seems like the date of my departure (around January 25th) is creeping up on me really fast. It's really an emotional rollar coaster already, one second I can't wait to get out of here and the next I'm feeling so sad about leaving. I'm scared, excited, impatient, nervous, and I'm basically a good/emotional/nervous wreck. I'm anticipating and dreading the day I fly to New York for the gateway orientation. I'M FREAKING OUT!
Anyways, that's pretty much all I have to update on! Stay tuned to hear about the rest of my journey:) Xxoxoox
