I am currently sitting at the New York JFK airport staring out onto dreary weather and completely bored out of my mind. What on earth is one supposed to do alone in an airport for EIGHT HOURS?!! There are only so many times I can pretend to be interested in useless duty-free items and magazines before I start to really look like a complete creeper. Luckily I found this wi-fi hotspot so I decided to take advantage of reliable internet while I have it.

I didn't get any sleep last night and the tossing and turning in the hotel bed had to be annoying for my grandmother who was sharing a bed with me. I was just such a mix of emotions. I would lay there so excited it took all of my energy to contain myself from screaming, and then 10 seconds later I would burst into tears at the thought of not being able to easily call my family at any time of the day. The alarm FINALLY went off at 5 AM and we all headed to the airport. I was doing pretty well all things considered until my MOTHER decided to start crying on me and then I lost it. I looked like a complete basketcase as I drug myself onto the plane with puffy red eyes and those sniffles that you try to contain but they make your whole body shake, you know what I mean? It was most definately the definition of the "ugly cry." Luckily I had a window seat so I just burried my head into the window until I could compose myself. That never happened. I cried all the way to Washington DC until we landed and the girl next to me asked me where I was going. When I told her she goes "OH MY GOD!!! THATS SO COOL!!! YOURE SO LUCKY!" and it was right then that I realized it. She's right, I AM lucky! I am so lucky that I have the opportunity to do something like this and I have been looking forward to this for so long. So I told myself "ok, thats enough, dry your tears and knock it off" and now here I am.

Gosh, I really am bored sitting here. I wish Tanya was here for me to pester like I used to when we would fly to dads. Guess I'll go eat a Big Mac...

I wish you could pester me too! I'd gladly let you if it would help your time go by faster. I miss you like crazy and I wish you weren't going but at the same time I'm excited for you. You will make friends instantly like you always do (I was always super jealous of you because of that by the way!) and you will have a wonderful time. Love you, Tanya
