DISCLAIMER: I pre-wrote this in the ATL Airport as I was about to board my plane to Paris, however I am just now posting it because I haven't had internet at my current apartment...so here you go!
Well everyone, the day has finally arrived! As we speak, or I guess type, I am sitting right outside gate E11 of the Hartsfield-Jackson Airport of Atlanta, GA, waiting to board my 6:05PM flight to Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris. Even though I’ve been counting down to this very moment for what seems like a lifetime, it’s still hard to believe that this voyage has actually begun. I feel like it was only yesterday when my roommate Shannon and I were sitting on the couch of our apartment back in Charleston trying to decide where we wanted to study abroad, a process that you could say way a struggle at best. Maybe it’s because I’ve become such a pro at doing absolutely NOTHING these past two months by living back home in GA with no job, no school work, and absolutely no motivation to do anything other than get ready for this trip or take a weekend visit back to Charleston...Regardless, it’s been quite an interesting past few days as I prepared for today with my embarrassing attempts to pack my belongings, and the various “farewell dinners” I had with my family and friends, especially since my father has been trying to serve me very generous amounts of alcohol every night. Needless to say he was successful.
Anyway, I just wanted to give a quick and last minute goodbye to all you in the States, and say a big ‘ole hello to France! I’ll try to give an update as soon as possible, however I’m very unsure to whether or not I’ll have access to internet so fingers crossed. Right now I’m going to go try to find some Tylenol PM to take on the plane in hopes of getting some sleep since I’ll be arriving in France at around 8:25 AM and barely got any sleep last night...definitely not surprised that my nerves kept me up.
See you soon, Europe.
