SPAINSPAINSPAIN
i got up early (7 in the a.m.) this morning. i couldn't help it. i had trouble sleeping, too... i had to shoot some nyquil... ewww... the death-flavored kind. my cat was being crazy-loud while i was trying to sleep, but eventually she decided to be sleepy. i need to call my sister in about an hour to make sure she's up. my flight from little rock leaves at 12:15, so i need to be there in the neighborhood of 10:30. i'm nervous. i've never travelled alone. last year to spain, there were 15+ people. when i went to cleveland in february, jeremy was with me. and now i have to fly all the way to spain alone. scary! plus my suitcase is heavy. ick. i can deal, though.
i'm just ready to be there. i'm ready to be a robot and get all these pesky flights over with so i can get there and pass out. i have to make a huge switch in london... my flight lands at an airport south of london at 7 tomorrow morning... and my other flight leaves at 11... 20+ miles away... i'll never make the same mistake.
i'm going to miss people so much! my mom, especially. we went out to dinner last night, and went to my sister's apartment because mom hadn't seen it. the drive home, we talked. about people, about how hard it is to let your children grow up... how even though parents spend the first 20 or so years of their children's lives preparing them to be independent and want to expand their opportunities so that they can one day leave their parents and still survive, how it's still not easy. she was talking mainly about my sister getting her own place, and making her own decisions, and me leaving for a month. i love my mom a ton. and i'll miss her a lot. i'll probably cry because i miss her. but that won't stop me from being myself apart from my family. y'know?
i'll miss my friends, too... i'm sure katie's still passed out... she was scheduled to be in costa rica today (or yesterday?)... i'm sure she's just had problems finding a computer to update from. i'm sure that's all it is. ::fret::
i feel kind of sick... i'm so nervous that something will go dreadfully wrong... it's a good thing i'm bringing every over-the-counter medicine i can think of that i'll need... now, if i can only get it through airport security...
well... i'm off to find breakfast. wish me luck travelling, and i'll see you all again in a month.
