Day 1

 

I have landed from my first flight which is stated above with some snap chats I posted while traveling.

As I write this, I am sitting in an airport awaiting my second flight, eating Krispy Kremes with a Dasani water, people watching families and couples make their way to their destination with the hustle and bustle of airport traffic.

Do not get me wrong, I love airports and flying rather than driving, but it is an experience in and of itself if you have never been in an airport like Miami or Chicago where there are people running to and fro everywhere. It is a madhouse year-round. I do not know if I could work in an airport or on a plane with the great amount of time they (pilots, flight attendants and the like) spend with the public. I work in a pharmacy and that is enough public exposure for me!

It will be an experience going through the Dominican Airport again, anxious on having my passport stamped and giving the local airport workers my paperwork of why I am in the country, knowing that if I tried to talk to them that it would be useless since they only speak Spanish (and my Spanish is not even close to theirs....and they are a little intimidating.)

Concerning school, I have thankfully finalized all of the paperwork for this internship to be deemed approved for college credit. I will only have to finish 8 classes before I graduate next May (*insert internal scream of excitement here*.)

My family is excited for me, even with tears in their eyes as they dropped me off this morning some time before 4am.

I cannot wait to make new friends as I embark on this journey, but I will miss my loved ones for sure.

Until later....
Adios
