At Airport

I am at the airport, and I am becoming really nervous. I have never been more excited, said good-bye to my family, my mom cried...that was interesting. I am too giddy to even fully explain. I am going to India. I met another girl going to India who is going to be staying in the district that I am staying in. It was nice to know I wasn't alone. I also was approached by an exchange student from Brasil who came up to me with friendly smile and ask where I was going. It was pretty awesome, we exchange business cards(haha). I was noticed by her because I am wearing my rotary jacket with all these pins...haha. I get stares in the airport because of the jacket, but I wear with my chin up, I am proud to be an exchange student.

Gita is meeting me at the airport in JFK, that is a nice surprise. She called me up today, telling me that she just got back from Guantanamo Bay, and that it was good timing.

I am missing everybody terribly right now, and I haven't even left the country. This is the part where even though I am surrounded by all these people. I feel completely alone. It's a strange feeling. At the same time, I enjoy the solitude.
I know I am coming back a different person. It's a scary, but invigorating thought.

Don't know when I am going to have internet when I am there, but I will try to keep you all posted.

Bon Voyage! India, HERE I COME!!
