12:20pm in the Schipol Amsterdam, waiting to board for Rome! I’d have to pay for internet in the airport so I’m going to wait until I’m at the school. The 13 hour flight was super easy, I slept for the majority of it -thanks to pulling an all-nighter to pack the day before. Leaving PDX was hard- walking around my house, thinking about my parents and familiar faces, and especially when I realized I wouldn’t be back in my vegetable dent in the couch watching crud t.v. for four months -four!
I can almost imagine being away on a vacation for a whole month, but it’s difficult to see myself being settled into an apartment with now unknown roommates and (successfully) cooking for myself, once I run out of the 15 pack of Annie’s mac & cheese that now line my suitcase.
I’m now excitedly anticipating my arrival and meeting some new people, who are –I’m hoping- as enthusiastic about this as I am, and hopefully not falling asleep into my plate at the presidents reception dinner tonight.. thanks jet lag.
Now to search for an electrical plug adapter..
