So, as I've said before here, I've run into some issues surrounding the whole Italy plan. As in, I was supposed to be there months ago, and yet here I am at home, in Montana, patiently twiddling my thumbs. Well, I'm doing more than that. I've been knitting like a madwoman. I've started dating someone new and he has made my life much more fun and exciting than it was for the first few months

I've decided that Prague --> Italy is basically the best way to go. Greece is a close second and until I'm officially enrolled, still a possibility. But it's going to be one of those two.But on the GOOD NEWS FRONT: A: A friend of my mom's, who is a flight attendant, has been working to find us deals on plane tickets. Meaning affordable airfare. Meaning mega-thumbs-up-happy dance from me.B: My

I called Bridge TEFL (I switched from Via Lingua to Bridge TEFL) today to inquire about their Florence start dates (not listed on the website). I was told that the Florence program is on hiatus for a while, and there aren't any in-the-near future start dates. * grumble grumble*I, however, chose not to settle for that, because dammit, I'm getting to Italy, one way or another.A friend had

First things first: So Much World Travel Guides sent me an email and asked if I would link to their Italy travel guide on my blog. It looks like a great guide, so I'm happy to. I added it in my links section on the right side of this page, check.it.out.Also: I'm starting a new religion around fastweb.com. Well, not really, because apparently starting up a new religion is kind of a process,

So... things concerning Italy right now = bad. bad bad. bad.As in - 20 minutes ago, I was heading to Florence in a month. As of 19 minutes ago, I'm heading to Florence in... April.There's not much more to say about it - other than... things have been going badly lately (cars breaking down, furnaces giving up and croaking, and now our washing machine has issues too) and the money just isn't there

So, I suck at getting things done on time. No, really, I do. I mean, it's not like I've missed important deadlines or anything. Stuff with Via Lingua is happening slowly but surely, I will eventually have a plane ticket (gr, hiss that I don't have one yet), etc. etc. But oh my stars. I have to get a jump on the visa process. Like yesterday. I don't want to have issues because I sent in my

There's not much going on right now in terms of next year's plans.

A few details: When I'm going - The program starts on February 18th, 2008. Where I'm going - Florence, Italy. Program I'm going with - Via Lingua CTEFL (Via Lingua Website) After
