The Final Hours

So. In 12 hours, I will be in the car on the way to the airport (theoretically).

I am not ready, but I am going.

To those of you who are curious, we are leaving tomorrow and will land in Catania, Sicily at 4:40pm their time. We will be 6 hours ahead.

We're family-hopping for the first week, up in the mountains.
The first few days we'll be staying with family that lives at the foot of Mount Etna. Funsies!

Then an eight hour train ride to Rome.

Then chilling in Rome the 26th-30th when we leave.
However, the hotel we're staying in is within walking distance from the Trevi Fountain!

We return around 9pm on June 30th.

Making the best of things, making the best of things, making the best of things...


But yes, I am definitely stressed as fuck right now. It took me over 5 hours to do my translation today. And I have 2 assignments to do for my poli sci class. Oh shit and I have to rent a textbook. OH FAIL. Anywayy.... HERE WE GO.

IN CLOSING! Please do not text me after 5pm tomorrow and don't start again until 4pm on June 30. I'm sure I will text twitter and facebook when I land. Photos will soon follow!


BOOKS I AM BRINGING WITH ME ON THE PLANE:
  • Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace
  • A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson
  • The Little Stranger by Sarah Waters
  • A Child Called It by Dave Pelzer
  • The Five People You Meet In Heaven by Mitch Albom
  • Various Italian phrase- and grammarbooks
I can't remember what else was in my suitcase, but that's all the reading I'm bringing for my 24+ hours of traveling!
