Speaking too soon...

So, I really spoke too soon regarding my Visa situation. It turns out, my application was approved and by this time next week, I will be in Italy. I really feel bad about selling myself short and think I shouldn't feel intimidated by authorities and I guess the questions and documents they asked for were mandatory. It's just that I've never had to do it before, which is why it seemed too much. 

I'm very excited about this one because it's my first trip alone as an adult to anywhere outside the country. I'm so looking forward to my trip. I have no high expectations and will see things as they come. I am at least planning to go to Milan, Venice and Trieste. Will post pictures when I return, or during my trip. I'm hoping for the best though :)
