Hey everyone, you know what time of year it is? SUMMER TIME! This summer is going to be so much fun, and at the same time, so hectic for me...and guess what? Tomorrow is Monday, and I'm leaving to the Nation's Capital, the President's Home, the District Of Columbia, AKA, Washington DC. I'm leaving on Tuesday! That's about...29 hours away.  My plane takes off into the early morning sky at 5:30 a.m. ....fun, huh? This means I'll have to double check my packing tomorrow, which I always do, and, for some reason, I like packing. It get's me all excited for my trip, wherever that may be, I almost always enjoy packing. Even though it's alot of work, it will be worth it! I'm going to get up at 2:30 or 3:00 in the morning on Tuesday, so that my dad and I can leave to the airport at 3:30, and get there by 4. My dad is going to bring me to the gate, and wait with me there, and show me what I need to do.

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't nervous. I've never flown alone before. Yet alone, I've never flown on two plane rides in the same day to get to a destination before, and I although I have an idea of what I'm supposed to do, I'm still nervous, and I can't help it. I've never been away from home more than a week, and this will be three weeks away. Yes, I'll be with my aunt Nancy, and cousin Chris, but honestly, I can't lie, I will probably get homesick. Most likely, as much as I will enjoy this experience to America's Capital, I WILL get homesick. I already miss my family, and I haven't left yet! Usualy I don't exactly miss people until the end of my week vacation...it's true, because a week really isn't that bad. But THREE WEEKS! I can do this, I WILL do this. In the end it will make me feel way more responsible, more than I already am.

The time has flied since summer started. I thought I would not be able to wait to go to DC, and I CAN'T! I'm SO excited! I'm one lucky kid! But where did the time go?! All I'm saying is that I'll miss my family so much, and, although my brother says that he won't miss me.....he will. I know it. ;) ;) ;) He's just shy and hiding it. ;)

Well, the next post will probably Tuesday morning, while I'm waiting in the airport... telling you my thoughts. Telling you if I'm nervous. Saying how I feel at that exact moment. What I'm going to do. Will I be tired? Or will I be wide awake with anxiousness? I DON'T KNOW! I have mixed emotions, here, people. MIXED EMOTIONS!

At least I'll have my dad there, he's going to wait with me until I board the plane. I think that will be the scariest part for me; walking down the little hallway and stepping onto the plane. Alone. Yep. I'll officially be an unaccompanied minor.

I know, I probably sound like I don't want to go. But that's not it! I CAN'T WAIT!! I'm so excited, I keep texting my cousin, who, is already there. He says it's a blast, and so I just can't wait!! I can't wait to see everyone, and I know I'll be fine! :)
