Well, I've arrived in Italy and things couldn't be better. At first I started to freak out about the huge change I've made but as I was strolling around town nothing has felt more right.

Today I spent the morning buying things for the apartment....the apartment is furnished but I still need little things like wine glasses, wine, food, and of course cleaning supplies. I spent the afternoon cleaning and organizing and now I need to go get myself a cell phone. I feel so out of touch! Luckily I get an open wireless signal here in my apartment so I can use the internet but it's weak and only works in my bedroom....still it's better than nothing...actually it was the discovery I was most excited about. What I was least excited about was banging my head on the ceiling about 20 times since I've been here! I'm living in a loft/attic....just under the roof so the sides of the apartment slope downwards with wooden 2x4s running across. I'm either going to come back to Canada more stupid or with a brain tumor....neither of which appeal to me.
