Planning, planning, planning

So I sat down with my guidance counselor and I have some great news... I'M GOING TO GET CREDIT FOR EXCHANGE!!! I am really lucky that I got to such q wonderful high school that does so much work with afs and we get at least 5 students from afs each year. Anyway, it turns out that I will be able to get credits for everything I need to take except for us history (go figure, right??). This is like the best motivation so far because now I know that everything is possible so I need to really get working on fundraising...

Viva la Bella vita

Ciao!

Woah, È Settembre

Ok so it's September already. WHAT HAPPENED TO AUGUST. School started and I really need to start making some BIG money for Italy... I just wish I wasn't so busy all the time.... Oh well

Viva la bella vita!!

Ciao

Just a little update...

Ok so you know how everyone gets that "Oh crap, what am I getting myself into...?" feeling right before they leave. Well I'm getting that feeling right now and I don't leave for a year. Anyway I guess that's it. (I know, this is a really short post.)

Viva la bella vita.

p.s. what do you think of the catchphrase thing?

I Need Some Help From Everyone

Hey everyone could you please go to the link below and vote for my t-shirt design. I put alot of work into this(the final design is the 8th version) and I would really appreciate it if you all could vote for mine. If I get a ton of votes I may be chosen as one of the grand prize winners and they get 1000 dollars each. And I have to say that 1000 dollars would be an amazing help in raising money for exchange since I have to raise all the money myself, and I think we all know how hard it is to raise all that money.

Again thank you SOOOOOOOO much!!!

(Oh and it's under my mom's name because if you are under 18 you need your parents to submit it for you)

I'm so EXCITED

So as you can probably tell I am really really REALLY excited. Why, you might ask. Well I'll tell you. I got the official "yes" from my parents which means. I'M GOING TO ITALY!!! Now I just need the money...

I Have a Problem

Ok, so I have a problem I come from a big Italian family, it's one of those "in-your-face" families that you can be away from for more that 5 minuets. So it's gonna be really hard to leave them. They are still kind of opposed to me going to Italy for a year and I think the only reason is that we are so close and my mom can't stand to have me leave. She keeps saying "FINE Rip my heart out!" Does anyone have any advice?

I just wanted to let you guys know

So I just added a donate button to the sidebar on the right. It works with paypal and this is all listed on the donations page but I just thought would tell you guys about it on the home page to make it easier. Thanks so much!
