Well I am through baggage checking and security and now I'm sitting just inside the international terminal gates drinking a latte and trying not to be nervous. I made it, I said goodbye without crying; although I think that is just because I was too nervous and scared to be sad. I'm guessing that when I get to my apartment and all the stress starts to level out I will laugh, cry, jump, scream, cower in terror, and every other emotion that has been hiding inside me will come out. I will have to make myself sleep on the plane from New York so that I can be up and functioning at 8:45 am when we land (that's 2:45 am Michigan time!) so that I can get where I need to go and then collapse onto my bed in relief.
Everybody has been so sweet and helpful and supportive. I'm not sure it helps now but I think in a month when I'm feeling homesick it will help me feel a little better.
I should probably go look and see if they have assigned my flight to a gate yet, the reason I am sitting at the terminal entrance is because I was early so the flight hadn't been assigned a gate number yet. I still have about an hour and ten minutes until I leave but I would rather be ready early than running late. It's strange I never really thought that I would become the person that is always on time and on top of things. I was always the relaxed person that goes with the flow. I guess I still am for the most part, but when I'm stressed or stuff is important I just want to make sure I'm as prepared as possible. Listen to me attempting to explain away my OCD to myself! I really am crazy! haha
Well I'm signing off probably until I get to New York, so fingers crossed, I think I'm ready for this, I think I really need to do it.... I think it's too late now!

Okay I lied. I'm too nervous to keep from writing. I just have to remember that I can't sleep now, I have to wait for my next flight. They just said our flight is super full ( we just boarded and are waiting for everyone else to get on). I'm hoping the nerves will diminish by the second flight, I keep having horrible daydreams about things that could go wrong, which is funny because I've never felt like this before a flight, until now. I have to remember to tell Mom and Dad that my carry-on was fine and people were shoving much bigger ones into the overhead storage bins. Well it's almost time to leave so I guess I will put away the writing and just daydram about horrible plane crashes :(
4:37 pm
Well I'm in New York City, it's strange to be in NYC and only see a passing glance of the skyline from the plane. I did get a couple pictures from the plane, but I don't know how well they turned out. I hope Mom ande Dad got on their flight okay. I figured out they will actually get to Spain before I do because their layover flight to Madrid will get there at 7:30 tomorrow morning and I won't get there until 8:45 am!
