It is so nerve racking as I await to aboard. The gate that reads Flight 282 to depart to London, is a dream. The only way to explain it is a daze that seems impossible. This is really happening, this is me going to Europe. Sorry if I am making you a little anxious yourself or bitter but I urge you to promise yourself that you will take a trip of a lifetime.
We are not meant to just pass life by and wave as it goes past but to enjoy the seconds as they come and go. What is life if you live for it to end? Live for it like it just begun. I encourage to write a bucket list and let me say that this can definitely be crossed off my list. It is not to say that I will never go again but just to say until next time. Xoxo, await the post when I'm in Europe.

The tension has risen to amazing new heights, and not the tension you feel when you recognize that dreaded ex boyfriend that you have not seen for years. NO! A good tension and maybe there is no such thing but for me "Oh" it is. The delightful tension when you curl your toes because you are excited, or when you are on your way to pick up a cute puppy out of a litter. A tension of amazement, a tension to have a "Midnight in Paris." What can I say? I am a journalist, will be a traveler, and forever a dreamer.
It is a place to get lost (sort of speak) and tomorrow I will be hopping a board a long flight. A great flight that will help me on my french, read a little book, maybe watch the movie "Midnight in Paris" (again), and of course take a power nap. *Side Note: I am sending out a prayer request in the middle of this message because I hope that one group member makes it on this adventure. She has misplaced her passport, arrives at LAX at 3:45, still has to pick up luggage to make it to our gate in time for 5:55 Departure. We would have to leave if she does not make it in time. =[ God Hear Our Prayers! Let's see it's been crazy, Thursday and Friday consisted of packing to leave from my dorm. Friday and yesterday was all about the unpacking of my stuff from dorm to my room back home. Now, it's all about packing for Europe. But, really what is there to complain about? It's Europe for peat sake, and who cares about the tiredness from this semester? I will nap on the plane, and gain a little knowledge for my travels by reading my Europe book. I am super excited to taste the yummy crepes in Paris and sit where Hemingway wrote "the sun also rises."
Stay tuned... The last days of finals are ahead of me and will be tomorrow. Then, comes the joyous part of packing for a long awaited trip. A trip of a lifetime, and a place that I will never forget. I am traveling to Europe and you can travel along with me. I will be blogging from country to country over a period of 17 days in Europe. England, France, Switzerland, Italy, and Monaco. The Queen will be present during the month of June and hopefully we will get to see her.
Some hotels I will be staying at: Youth hostel in Switzerland Youth hostel in Lucerne Youth hostel in Paris Youth hostel in London Youth hostel in Nice Finally, it has come to a time with the dreading days of finals around the corner but the reluctant feeling of summer at your feet as well. As I sit here in the coffee cafe at my university; I think about all the decisions I have to make in the next couple of weeks. No, it is not time to graduate, yet that is. Although, I have to make the decision about if I want to make money this summer or receive academic credit through an internship. This 10 page packet of criteria that I must read in order to make sure my internship qualifies is not persuading me towards interning. If I delay then, I will be left with procrastination in my Senior year and a dreading feeling that I will not finish in time. So, at the end of writing this blog, I thought it be nice if I gave you some links for internships.
*Important thing to note is to make sure your internship meets the standards of your university and DO NOT DELAY. Tips for finding internship (Before you look on your own)
