Tonight will be my last night at home and in my bed for 3 and a half months. Tomorrow my plane is leaving at 6:10pm and then I arrive at Italy at 8:45am the following day.
I would be lying if I did not say I was scared, but I am SO excited as well.
It has been ridiculous trying to shuffle around all my stuff to get it to fit into all the suitcases without going over the 50 pound limit!
I made a really tough decision that I will not be taking my jewelry supplies with me, it just takes up WAY TOO MUCH weight! This is sad, but on the flip side I am going to bring a lite pad of bristol board instead and some watercolors and pencils and make my main focus on that form of creativity. Of course I will have my camera as well and that is going to be loads of fun!
I will miss my jewelry, but at least I know that when I come home for winter break I will have all my supplies waiting for me and many ideas to get started on.
I bought a nice little sketchbook and I am going to carry it with me all the time and just write and sketch and collect things in it, all from Rome and whatever places I may visit in Europe.
I am so excited! Very nervous though. I think once I find my apartment there, and am safe inside, I will feel so much better.
This is a new chapter of my life beginning! Wish me luck :D
OH NO! I didn't get to tell you good bye! I will pray for you! I wish you had your art stuff with you. Maybe your mother could ship them. The question is will you be on line to keep us posted on your travels? hugs paula
ReplyDeleteKamille....I hope you are well!
ReplyDeleteThank you Paula!
ReplyDeleteI am doing pretty good. I am just so busy I have no time to post!
I really want to post more and upload pictures soon. I am just exhausted by the time that I get home I don't even want to go on the computer.
I am taking 3 studios, art history, and Italian. The studios are really intense and so is art history! For art history we have to meet on site and same goes for my class Rome Sketchbook.
I am having a really amazing time, but a very exhausting and challenging time as well. I am practically living in my studio, I want to get out more and take pictures and experience Rome! All in time though, I just have to get into a routine.
I have made a lot of drawings, maybe I will post some soon.
Thank you for checking up on me! I hope you are doing well too :)
Kamille......Love your ART...love that you are having a wonderful time in Italy...love that you are so brave to go off and LEARN....Love that I know you!!! Judy THE CINNAMON STICK
ReplyDeleteJudy! I never knew you found my blog or that you found mine. I need to come visit you soon. I really missed the witches party! There was no Halloween in Rome and it made me sad.
