And so it begins...

My bag weighs approximately 5000 lbs. I have enough shirts, jeans, shorts, dresses, and shoes to clothe an army. I've checked, rechecked, and triple checked my flight info. And now all there is to do is wait for my 6:20 p.m. flight to Barcelona, Spain! I've got my stock of books and a pack of peanut M&M's for the trip and I'm really hoping I won't get stuck next to a screaming child or a person who doesn't shower for 8 hours. Because I'm pretty sure that would be awful.

The parentals, Nick and I are going into Boston for the day to keep everyone's mind off of the fact that I'm leaving, because being sedentary for too long in my house automatically translates into a waterfall of tears (cough cough mom) and no one wants that! Then I'll get on a plane for Dublin, transfer to a flight to Barcelona and will arrive, tired and gross, in beautiful Catalunya! I'm excited to be reunited with some great friends in the city and spend some time with them before I start the Trinity program on September 2nd!

So this is my farewell to 6 o'clock dinners, giant sodas, peanut butter, and English, because I'm off! :-)

Adios a todos! Muchos besos :-)
