I'm sitting in Heathrow airport in London, waiting for my next flight to Basel. Thus far, traveling has been great. I did have a delay in Chicago, and I haven't slept at all yet. I sat next to a cute Italian boy named Sergio on the plane here, and we talked almost the entire time. He would go back and forth between Italian and English, he's a biomedical engineering student in Milan, but also studied Economics in London, and was coming back from a month traveling throughout California and Hawaii. We talked about politics, music, movies, differences between Italy and the States, and he was charming. He said things like "that is such shit", and was pretty vuglar, in a really indearing way. He invited me to Milan, I doubt that happens, but I do really want to visit Italy and we exchanged e-mails. He told stories about partying in Vegas, meeting Rob Zombie, and he seemed to live a pretty jet-set lifestyle.
No one around me right now is speaking English, and it's great. I've seen so many interesting people, and I love traveling alone. I met another girl who was from Portland, but now lives in Switzerland and goes to law school there. I met some American students in the Chicago airport and we talked about studying abroad - they were going to Frankfurt, but also had a delayed flight.
The food on British Airways was probably the best airline food I've ever seen in my limited travel - plus, free wine and beer. Always a plus.
I haven't slept in almost 24 hours, and I'm not going to get to for awhile. I don't leave here until 2:45 and still have to get to Freiburg from Basel. I want to go out tonight, but I doubt that happens. I have a feeling I'm going to crash soon.
I wish I could explore London, and see all the SU people while I'm here, but I don't have long enough to leave the airport, and I'm already so tired that it wouldn't be worth going out.
I really hope the last part of the trip goes as well as everything has thus far. I'm ready to be settled, and excited to meet everyone in my program. I'm glad I came, and also glad that I'm traveling alone. It's stressful, but not too bad.
I miss everyone at school and in Kerrville. Love to everyone!
