On the way... Miami Airport

Well, I'm people watching in the airport- and it's funny. So many people are going so many different places.
So far I have one regret of the trip: I left my mom's homemade cinnamon roll in the van. bummer. Obviously, this means that the trip has been going really well if that is my only downer. :-)
I got here (Miami) a little before 11:00 and now I've just been sitting and waiting and checking emails and doing some online "housekeeping" and whatnot. I'll probably venture to my gate soon. That's where everyone from BCA is meeting.
So how am I?
-no lies- I'm tired. As much as I LOVE flying and usually my face is plastered out the window, I may break down and try and sleep a bit on the flight there.
-motivated, it's a form of excitement, but it's a little different. I'm motivated to enjoy the journey- to prepare feeling stupid, "american", a student, but also to open my wings to South America!
-content. nothing bad has happened. a lot of good has- and I have really great people that care about me.

I'm not sure what exactly the semester is going to contain. I know it'll change me- and I've already wasted time worrying about which classes to take that will give me the best semester, but I'm sure whatever ends up will be GREAT!!

So greetings from southern usa- now on to South America! I'm about to flip sides...

I am so glad to be the first comment on the first post by Ms. Kimberly Joy.

For those of you who want to comment without a blog, check the "Open ID" box at the bottom of this page.

It is very natural to be feeling all of these things right before such a life-changing experience-- especially when you have no idea what to expect yet. I added you on Skype the other day, and know that if you ever need to talk to anyone, you are more than welcome to spend a couple cents in Skype Credit to call my cell/house phone and say, "Hey! Get online, ok bye!"
And I will meet you there...

I hope to enjoy seeing some lovely pictures along the way. Know that I am thinking of you.
Bests,

Leslie
