Preparation

Well, the time has come folks.  I am officially starting to pack.  Well, I'm actually about to go to bed...but I will start packing tomorrow!  :)  Packing is not exactly something I enjoy.  It's an exciting experience, don't get me wrong.  But I can never seem to escape the haunting feeling that I will most likely forget at least one thing I will desperately need.  It's a terrible feeling.  So, to solve this little problem of mine - I have started to make lists.  Lots and lots of lists.  I have written down every little thing I will need while in Italy.  Of course, it's impossible for me to know what I will need exactly, but I can do a little guesstimating, right?  Anyway, let's just say I have a very very long list of things needing to go in my (two) suitcase(s).  (My father thinks it's ridiculous that I am taking two suitcases...what can I say?  I am who I am. ;) )

One thing that was on my to do list this week that I found quite enjoyable was figuring out which books I want to read over the summer.  Reading is my most favorite of past times!  It makes my heart so happy to get completely wrapped up in a good story.  So I looked at which books were on the recent  Best Sellers lists and some that I purchased were The Help by Kathryn Stockett (I've seen the movie, but am excited to read the book!), The Lucky One by Nicholas Sparks, The Maze Runner series by James Dashner, and a few other random ones that caught my interest.  I am very excited to start them!

Well, I will update you all again soon!  But I better get some sleep so that I have a clear mind for packing tomorrow...I don't want to forget anything.  :)

Ciao!

Maddy
