Michelle’s Top Ten Goals for her semester in Italy:

1. Try eating something I would never eat normally.

Fiori di Zucca Fritti: Zucchini blossoms stuffed with mozzarella and anchovy, then deep fried. Yum.

2. Visit at least five countries!

3. Go wine tasting through Tuscany (preferably on horseback!)

4. Gain a new best friend.

5. Meet and be welcoming towards new people every day.

6. Do well in my classes (boring for a top ten list, but necessary!)

7. Find the best local Italian places that are away from other tourists.

8. Take as many pictures as possible.

9. Snowboard in the Swiss Alps.

10. Sky dive or canyon jump in Switzerland. This is number ten because I am scared at the thought alone, but also really want to overcome that fear!
