my favorite thing about airports are the automatic plastic covers on the toilet seats. i'm only ever a germaphobe when i'm waiting for a flight. strange?
welp, guys, here i go. taking off on this adventure that i've been waiting...oh...about my entire LIFE for. i've always planned to study abroad, and decided, after visiting ireland in the eighth grade, that dublin was the only place i want to be. seriously. i've never been more excited.
and how do i know i'm excited? i'm calm as hell. calm, cool, and collected and ready to hop this nine-hour flight. i'm not even worried that i don't yet have a boarding pass for my flight to heathrow. i'm breathing easily. i am ready. phew!
yes, i've been preparing for this for awhile now. the application process was ridiculous, as was the wait until today. june 16 has been on my radar for quite a long time. i just never thought i'd be THIS ready.
so far, so good. i think it's a sign that i'll be traveling with about 30 people to people student ambassadors. was i really that young? did those polos and lanyards really look THAT bad? ugh. but, if i hadn't gone then, i wouldn't be prepared for this trip now.
yes indeed, what an adventure. leaving the country, the continent, the hemisphere on a gigantic jet plane in t-minus one hour. wish me luck! send me kisses! skype me! (erin.bernhard1) i'll be missing you! xxx
right?! space toilets.
