Two pieces of good news for my avid readers:
1. 1. After Richie delivered my missing papers to the consulate in NYC, my application finally went through! I should receive my visa in about a week. It’s close, but as long as I get it before my departure I will call it a great success!
2. 2. I also received my long-awaited host family assignment, and could not be more optimistic. My family consists of a lovely couple in their late 30s (Veronica and Mauro). They have two adorable little boys. Niccolò is 5 and Luca is 3. I have become facebook friends with Veronica, and it seems as though they are a very energetic, adventurous and happy family.
According to the description I received from SLU, they enjoy nature, Tuscan cuisine and sporting events. Also, Veronica and Mauro both speak English and have lived in the U.S. at some point in their lives. They also have a big terrace and wireless internet. Score!
I will have one roommate, but I know nothing about her besides her name. I am assuming that she is another American student studying at Lorenzo de Medici. We also have our own bathroom, which I find exciting!
I am fairly certain that I will become quite attached to my new family, and I cannot wait to meet them! Only 10 more days!
According to google, this is from the street I will live on!
La Piazza d'Azeglio
