Arrivederci England, Buongiorno Sicily!!!

So, I am just about set for the big trip tomorrow, just a few things to throw into my bulging case in the morning at 4am! Oh my, I do not like early mornings but with luck, my usual little alarm clock Tara will be screaming at 4 as usual, so I will have less difficulty getting up!!! I am going to miss her so, so, so much but I can honestly say the crying in the night phase is one I am hoping is over by the time I come home!!!

I have spent the last few days, quite honestly, packing and unpacking again and again. I am so bad at packing! I have told my mam that if I do ever decide to go away again, she has to persuade me to go to a tropical destination so all I have to pack are flip flops and bikinis- though I am sure I would go over my allowance even then! I have taken drastic measures today- I took loads of stuff out of my case which was weighing in at about 35Kgs and put it in a box and posted it to myself in Italy!! Seriously, I have! I just cannot do without all of my stuff!!! I never knew I was so materialistic until going to Prague when I bought an extra suitcase of luggage not just extra weight! But it is true, I am, I like my home comforts and my own things.

I know when I get to Italy I will have nothing to wear!!! And I will def look terrible in all of my clothes next to Italian women, and men for that matter, and I will be able to buy things in the shops there and so on but I cannot help it, despite telling myself I would be better this time I know I will be standing at the check in trying to chose the aisle with a man or motherly looking woman to plead with that I am going for 6 moths.... and paying £21 for every 3Kgs in excess!!! There goes my spending money!!!

But, I am heading off in the morning, heading off to a new adventure, a new home and a new job. I am a bit nervous but mostly looking forward to it now.
I can't wait to see my new room and meet the teahers at the school, and of course my students! I love teaching so much, it is somethng I really am passionate about and enjoy doing so how can I not be excited! I can't wait to have some fun times to tell you about... I will write again soon to let you know how I am settling in (and how warm it is! I hope).
Until then, goodnight and goodbye, miss you already...
