it's been a month since me and daniele started dating again. it really seemed like he's changed since the last time i was with him. he's been telling me about giulia and all the situation with his family. they basically broke up couple months ago and when daniele told her i was one of the reasons she went crazy. not gonna lie, i would have paid to see her reaction.

he also explained all the situation between me, him and giulia to his parents, and when they got to know everything, they called me and apologised so many times, they also wanted to have a lunch with me and my family, but i made up an excuse and declined, cause things would have been so awkward and also, i didn't want to rush anything between us.

also, i told my parents that me and daniele are trying to make things work again and they actually were happy about us. as much as he may have been an asshole, which he already apologised for, he's a good person, very kind, polite and most of all, he's open minded.

another update, i'd say the most important: professor rossi talked to my parents about the exchange thing and he reassured them about the family that would host me, the place, the school and for how long i would have stayed there. so my parents were finally convinced about it and i was able to set off.

daniele and i talked about this and, it may seem dumb or anything, but i wanted to involve him in this, cause it's really important to me. when i told him, he was so happy about it cause he has always known about my travelling passion and he has always supported me in anything. and i think that's the most important feature every guy should have.

speaking of the host family, the agency sent me all the informations about it: they lived in Los Angeles, which i loved, cause i could have visited it and maybe i could have met relevant people since it's there where they all lived.
the family was made of 4 people, and i was gonna have two host brothers. great. i was hoping for at least one sister cause i already had a brother here, but i guess it would be fine. the most important thing was living and studying in Los Angeles.

the host parents seemed so kind cause they  told me they would have sent me their phone number, and their sons' too, so that we could have talked and facetime before getting there and make things easier. i really appreciated that.

speaking of it, i got a notification from imessage:

it was my future host mom. she seemed like a kind and lovely person. when my parents gave me the permission to set off, the first thing in my mind was: what if the host family won't care about me? what if i'll regret everything? fortunately i was so wrong, i mean, i haven't met them yet, but for what it seemed like, they were good people.

i replied to her text saying that i appreciated what she said and i would have definitely texted her if i needed something. then she added that later that night we could have facetimed to get to know each other.

immediately i felt so my butterflies in my stomach. studying abroad has always been a dream of mine and i couldn't realise this was actually happening.

i was so excited to meet the host family, go to the high school, attend prom and all the cool stuff i always see in the movies.

i spent all the afternoon to pack my bags: i started with the clothes, so i decided to bring with me some jeans of course, hoodies and simple shirts.

then i remembered i was gonna be in Los Angeles so it wouldn't be as cold as in here, so i took shorts, skirts and crop tops. just the bare minimum cause i knew i was going to buy a lot of things there.

then into another bag i put all the necessary for hygiene and some of skin care products. i know, it's not that necessary but whatever.

it was about dinner time and thank god i was almost done. but i couldn't continue it anymore so i went downstairs and eat. there were 2 more days left before setting off so i could have finished packing my bags the day after.

"how's the situation up there? need some help?" my mom asked. she was so anxious when it came with packing cause she didn't want to forget anything. yeah good point, but i knew i would have anyway.

"yeah, no, everything's fine. i just need to pack the last few things and i'm done, but i'm gonna do it tomorrow." i said while i was sitting on the chair waiting for the dinner. i was literally starving.

my mom stared at me kinda like saying "are you serious? tomorrow is too late" but my dad calmed her saying: "i'm pretty sure she's gonna do a good job, so don't worry."

i smiled at him. he always had my back, specially with my mom.

"can't wait for you to be gone. being here without you pissing me off, i can do whatever i want and i'm finally gonna be in peace" ale said joking.

"no I can't wait to go far from YOU. i'm not gonna hear your loud ass voice while playing at some stupid games with your stupid friends." i replayed back, joking of course.

"stupid, uh? is that what you think about daniele too? you know, i might tell him right away." he said causing an "ooohhh" from my parents.

i blushed a little and, since my mom noticed and wanted to get me out of that awkward situation, she said: "speaking of it, how's daniele? you know you're gonna set off in few days."

"uhm i think he's good, he was very happy for me and when i'm gonna stay there, we're gonna call each other every day." i said and suddenly i heard my phone ringing.
