From The Californian Abroad
I was terrified of moving away for four months and nervous about how homesick I'd feel; however, I've never felt more the opposite. These months have passed in the blink of an eye. It was more than I could have imagined for myself, and my heart hurts knowing I have to leave. I will always have a soft spot for Milan, its trams, and the magnificently dressed nonnas. Grazie Milano!
