We picked up one of my other friends, Simon, on the way because he wanted to see me off as well. We got to the airport a bit too soon for my liking, but Fiona and Simon came inside with me and helped me check into my flight and send me in the right direction. I didn’t seem very sad when I said goodbye, but once I got into the security area and I turned around and they weren’t there anymore, I got significantly more sad because I don’t know the next time I’ll see them. I’m so glad I got to visit them at all though.
I got through security pretty fast so I had about an hour and a half to just sit around before we boarded the flight. Once I was on the plane I closed my eyes for a little bit, but then woke up and continued on the reading I started on the way to Germany. (Which was To Kill A Mockingbird because it’s a fantastic book and I want to reread it) I got back and took a taxi back to my apartment and then talked to my family a little bit before they left for the airport BECAUSE THEY’RE GOING TO BE HERE TOMORROW.
Other than that I’ve just been kind of hanging out until my roommates got back from their weekend and then once they did, we shared stories about our different adventures. But now, it’s off to bed for me because I have class in the morning. But I don’t mind because after class I’ll get to see my family for the first time in a month and I’ll get to show them my city.
But until then–arrivederci!
