Washington D.C. - On My Way

After a couple of days of hurried packing and making final preparations, I finally was ready to leave!  I said my last goodbyes (I hate them. They are like the hardest things in the world.) and headed off to stay at my cousins house for the night.  The next morning after like 2 hours of sleep I woke up at 3:30 and got ready to leave.  Leaving my family was impossibly hard.  I love them so much.  I will miss them but I am also so excited to go see another part of the world.  Yes, I bawled like a baby.  But after that I made it through security and onto the plane.  I had a short layover in Los Angeles then flew to the Washington Dulles airport.  There I met my director and he took me to the hotel, where I met up with all the other CBYX students!  It was quite a long and boring day, but I have a longer one planned for tomorrow! We wake up early again and then get on a 2 hour flight to Dallas, stay there for a couple hour layover, fly on a 9 1/2 hour flight to Germany, then have a 4 hour bus ride to Hedersleben, where all of us will be staying until September 7.  Its very boring, but necessary! I'll try to post more when I arrive in Germany!
