Waiting is the worst part - 07/17/2013

So I am sitting on my couch this morning anticipating my departure to Auckland, New Zealand for my semester abroad, and I received an email form a good friend asking me all these questions about Auckland as if I was already there. I hadn't even left my house! That was when I decided I should probably keep a blog of my adventures abroad. Which is saying something because anyone who knows me knows that writing is not my thing.  It will be a good way to keep people up to speed, and I plan on going full throttle.

I did not show my excitement very much when I left home this afternoon because I am going to miss my family and friends. I was also just slightly nervous flying into San Francisco after the recent crash, but who can blame me? Besides, traveling by airplane has not gone so smoothly for me lately. But here I am sitting in the San Francisco airport waiting to board my massive double decker plane to Auckland and there are things I already want to share with my friends and family. Well just one thing, but it is definitely worth sharing. The guy sitting behind me at the gate is from New Zealand, and while he was talking on the phone I think I nearly died and went to heaven when I heard his accent. That is all I have to share for now and the next time you here from me I will be in Auckland!
