The morning was an early one. I didn't get much sleep last night. I was feeling a little nervous about being gone for 5 months, but also excited as hell. After saying a hard goodbye to my dog Jasmine, I was off to the airport! Once at the airport I checked my bags and headed down to security. After taking multiple pictures with my Mom, Dad, sister Allie, and fellow roommate Corinne, it was time to say our goodbyes. Saying goodbye to family and friends for 5 months isn't an easy thing to do, but I know this is a once and a lifetime opportunity. As soon as we said our goodbyes, it was off to security, which is always a pain in the a$$. As I rounded the corner I gave one last wave goodbye. A new chapter in my life started today.
After a short flight to Dallas, Corinne and I were in search of food. Well, we were in luck. Corinne's roommate from SLU and her boyfriend came to pick us up. They took us to Dallas for the day were we had some great Mexican food. We also drove by Southern Methodist University. Needless to say it was gorgeous. After spending most of the day in Dallas we headed back to the airport where we met up with 20 other SLU students who are on the same flight. Our flight leaves at 5:45 for Madrid! We will be arriving at 10am (3am in STL). Everyone here is extremely excited. With all of my nursing friends here at the airport my nerves have been settled, well that is until I have to get on the plane again.
Next stop Madrid!
