So i have some news for you all....

Guess what? You'll all be seeing me next semester. That's right, I'm not going abroad. After a lot of thinking (and i mean ALOT, i agonzied over this even before i handed in my application and after I got approved) I came to the decision that instead of going to Florence I'm going to stay at conn. I know that some of you may be thinking why? Well its as simple as this, I didnt want to leave. I know that sounds lame but I just realized that mentally, emotionally, and physically its too big of a step for me. Now it may sound like im chickening out or something but thats not really the case. I just finally feel comfortable in myself, am genuinely happy with who i am, and am enjoying college life. I dont want to leave that feeling so soon after finally achieving that. Don't worry, i'm not giving up on the idea of going abroad completely. Its just that three months is way too long for me to be away from my family and friends. So instead im going to do a summer program for a few weeks or maybe an internship in Florence or somewhere else in Italy. As much as i did want to go, I just dont want to leave just yet. so yea, just wanted to let you all know that i will be here when you get back next semester and i cant wait to see all of you and hear your amazing stories! Remember, this is a good thing, hehehe

I am fully aware that I could just say this to your face, or well more likely yell it across the hall, but I figure I will post, so everyone can see and as we said comments are the best...I know I would have survived second semester without you, but being at conn without my friendmate, and someone who has been by my side from the very beginning would have been one of the hardest things yet. You are an essential person in our new found group, and in my life. So, I just want to make sure you know, eventhough I am sad you will not be having the abroad experience just yet, my excitment and happiness of you staying over shadows any other feeling. Nothing but love bitch!
