The start of an amazing experience.....

La buona sera tutti!

This fall I will be embarking on a once in a life time adventure. I get the chance to study in Italy.

A little background of how and why....

I am a broadcast journalism student at Arizona State University. With my major I am required to study a related area of interest. At first it was film, but that wasn't really my cup of tea. So I decided I wanted to study abroad and focus my related area on Italian studies. Ever since my Junior year of high school I have been studying the Italian language and will officially be finished with my last semester of the language at the end of this Fall while in Italy.

I will be studying right in the heart of Tuscany as we all know as Florence (aka Firenze which I will most likely refer to it as). The school is called The Institute at Palazzo Rucellai (feel free to browse their website to learn more). I will be able to study the culture and history of the city and various cities that border it.

Don't worry there will be pictures. To start off here is one of the buildings I will be attending class in....

Bellissimo!

Tune in in a couple of days to see how the process of packing and gathering everything I need for this adventure happens :]


Ciao!
La vita è bella.
