Waiting to board

I woke up this morning knowing that I would be flying to Dublin to live and study for the next four months. All morning I was packing, weighing my suitcase, and stuffing as much as I could in my backpack. I said my goodbyes to my friends and brothers back on the cape, and then my parents drove me to the airport. The whole carride I guess I was having an out of body experience, I had been telling people constantly that I was going to study abroad in Ireland until December, but I guess it first really hit me today that I am actually going and this isn't some dream. I got to the airport way too early and was way too ansy but I had a nice meal with my parents. Saying goodbye to my mom almost killed me but I only teared up a little. I know that I am going to have the time of my life and I will come back with some incredible stories. I will be boarding soon and then I will be waking up in a different country. Wish me luck!
