Packing, planning, packing… This will probably be my constant status till Wednesday (August 25th) when I depart for Rome. Rome!!!! I can’t believe that in less than a week I will be leaving to go to Italy for a whole semester. I am so excited to start my year of travel and research.
For those of you who don’t know me I am a junior at Loyola University Chicago majoring in Religious Studies. This academic year I will be a part of the Ricci Scholars Program, which means I am spending the fall in Rome and the spring in Beijing. I will be working on a cross-cultural research project studying sacred spaces, looking at how sacred spaces function in different cultures (particularly Rome and Beijing).
So, even though I’m not packed I’m extremely excited to head off to Rome to start my adventure! The next time I write I will be in Roma!
Awesome! :) I can't wait for you to write more.
