Pre-Departure Statistics

I am now sitting in the gate waiting to board. I've got about an hour until anything super exciting happens so I thought I'd check in. Hi, how are you? I'm great. I've reached the point of no return. No turning back now, although you'd have to drag me in handcuffs if you wanted to get me out of this terminal. I'm doing this, nobody can stop me.

I said a drowsy goodbye to my dad this morning and this afternoon said goodbye to a pouty boy and a teary mom. I've said my goodbyes to my friends and now I've just got to go go go!

But first, a few pre-departure statistics, for everyone's information.

Weight: 164
Height: 5'11"
Pant size: 30
Dress size: 10
Shirt size: M/L
Shoe size: 8-8.5

I am chronicling this information because I intend on eating my way through Italy and I wouldn't be surprised if some of these dimensions changed.

But I also plan on taking long walks, doing yoga with my roommates, and playing soccer in the parks of Roma. So maybe I can combat my iminent expansion.

Cheers, to lots of food and lots of exercise.
