I'm packed (and excited) for NOAC.
I'm SO excited to fly in an airplane. And I really don't care if it's "not all it's cracked up to be." I'm sick of people telling me that the whole airport/flying experience is a pain. I think the airport looks like so much fun. Everyone is either going somewhere really exciting or returning from somewhere really exciting.
Speaking of which, Evan leaves on the 16th for Germany! He just found out who his host family will be. I'm sure he's going to have a blast, but I don't know what I'll do without him. He's always been there. For my entire life he has been there. We've always shared a room, and other than little week-long trips here and there neither of us have ever been gone. But now Evan will be gone.
