Let the Preparation Commence!

All right folks, I just set up my first blog! Now this is mostly for my benefit, memories and all that jazz, but it will also be a great way for all of you to keep updated on my adventures and endeavors. I leave for Portland in two days and then fly out early, early the next morning! The preparation has been pretty stressful but luckily with the support of my wonderful family members and having my best friend (Nina!) by my side I think I will be totally ready to start this new chapter of my life! Vado in Italia!
