As I was sitting on my bed reading I looked up to my one book shelf where I always keep extra money and my passport and my passport was missing! At first I didn't worry thinking I just misplaced it but after some time of looking it was no where to be found. Then set in panic mode. Alex, Marie and I literally tore apart our entire room searching everywhere from the closets, to trash, to our notebooks. Still not being able to find it I did what any 21 year old would do....called my mom (haha). She calmed me down a bit but knowing me as well as she does she ended up calling me a little while later telling me to relax and go to sleep because she knew I was still up searching...which I was. The following morning I went to the American Consulate and explained the situation. I was petrified walking in there but they were so nice to me. They told me I could get an emergency passport that day which was valid for three months but most importantly could get me back into the states. I decided to wait until the following day to do that as a last option hoping that it would turn up as I packed up my belongings.
Well I am all packed up and it is still no where to be found. It is the most bizarre thing. After my italian exam I went straight to the American Consulate and applied for an emergency passport which was handed to me about an hour later. I personally think it is a sign that I am supposed to stay in Europe but looks like I'll be heading back to the states after all!
