Hola from JFK International Airport! This morning I woke up at the unnatural hour of 6:00 AM, got on an 8:20 flight to JFK, and now I'm powering through a 9 hour layover. I'm feeling tired but not too bad because I decided to treat myself to a day at the Delta Sky Club, which is actually cheaper than getting a hotel. They provide a salad/soup buffet (or you can pay extra for a full meal), a bar, comfortable lounge areas, wifi, and SHOWERS. I haven't actually tried them yet, but the idea of showering and changing into fresh clothes before flight number two is just glorious!
Now that I have had a few hours to myself after the craziness of preparing for this trip, I think everything is finally sinking in. All of the expected emotions are surfacing. I am going to be gone for six months! I said a tearful goodbye to my family and my boyfriend this morning, and I am already missing everyone at home. At the same time, I am so excited. I have already e-mailed my tutor and host family, and I know it is hard to tell from an e-mail, but they seem really nice.
T-minus 4ish hours till my flight. Off to the showers, now! Adios!
