June 6, 2012 – Day of Departure

Well today is the day. I am finally leaving for Italy for two months. I don’t think I have ever been do nervous. I barely even touched my tacos at lunch. More importantly…I couldn’t even finish my tasty alcoholic drink! What on earth is wrong with me? Mara dropped me off absurdly early at Newark Airport which was definitely for the best. I had to check both of my bags of luggage because my carry-on was too heavy. This, of course, is causing me even more nerves because if they lose my luggage I have practically nothing. Only what I am wearing ( tennis shoes, yoga pants, and my Alpha Phi tank), my laptop, camera, phone, toothbrush and glasses. Definitely enough to get me through a month of travelling on my own . I keep trying to calm myself my repeating in my head that if I do lose my luggage that it will basically be like God giving me permission to get a new wardobe. I mean, obviously shopping would need to be done. haha Either way I am currently waiting outside my terminal for another 2.5 hours until we start boarding. Let the adventures begin!
