Today, for the very first time in my life, I purchased my own airline tickets! I've flown numerous times, and even by myself, but have never had the need to buy my own tickets. Well, today - with the help of my dad on the other end of the phone - I clicked the "purchase now" button and breathed a huge sigh of relief, mixed with "I really hope I didn't pick the wrong dates, wrong time, or wrong seats!" After scanning my itinerary one last time, printing a copy for my records and signing off, I realized that I am officially leaving in just about two months.
I know I'll only be gone for five months. For everyone else, it will feel as though the time as flown by and you won't believe I'm already home. For me, however, I have a feeling it will be much different. I'm just not sure how different or even what I should expect.
Not much else to say, other than that the reality of my trip is sinking in more and more. I'm experiencing excitement, anticipation, a little bit of fear, and the realization that I need to start spending some serious, quality time with my daddy and friends before I leave. I have a feeling I'm going to blink and the next two months are going to be gone.
