Just had breakfast while flying over the mountains and coastline of southern France. Didn’t eat or sleep much as I’d still be partying in Duke around this time, but make the most of the day. Not exactly sure what will happen today, but I guess I’ll try to meet up with Colleen, Abby’s sister who is studying in Rome this semester also. Getting ready to land, so time for another nap?

Aug 27, 2010, approx 8 PM EST while flying to Rome
I can’t remember the last time I’ve felt like this. The sense of unknown. Of adventure. I am heading off into the quasi unknown. I kind of wish it was complete wilderness but I guess I’ll consider this a warmup to meeting the aliens in dreamland. I’m excited but so… apprehensive. I look out of the window as I’m flying into a lightening sky. I know what I’m getting into but I don’t know what lies before me.
I do know what I want from this though. I want to grow. I want to not be so afraid. So stupid. I want to be easier on myself and take myself less seriously. This is a risk I am taking this semester and I want the most out of a chance I’m taking. There is so much that I am not ready for and so much that I want to become. Time to start doing the work. Gaining experience. Developing and telling my own stories. Loving my playlist right now. Time for adventure.
I am so lucky to be on business class flying across the world with good friends at home and a great time set up before me. I need to be thankful and make the best of this. Peace to the US and ciao Europe.
