And the adventure begins @ 4:30....oops, 4:55

So thanks to an absolutely wonderful alarm on my cell phone(set at the forgiving time of 4:30), I didn't wake up until 4:55am when dad called. With some last minute packing, parents 5am breath, and sleep in my eyes, dad and I took off for the airport. With a "haveeee fuuuuuuuun" advice from my mom in my mind, I started to get a bittttt more excited. When we got to the airport, at 5:34am mind you, my passport wouldn't scan. After manually entering in my passport information and 2 checked bags of 42 and 43 lbs, I was off!!!! (off to sit for an hour and a half waiting to board the plane)
You probably want to know what I packed in order to live for 4 months in another country. Around 15 t-shirts, some "go out"shirts, 2 dress shirts, a pair of cargo shorts, a bathing suit!, 4 pairs of shoes and 1 pair of flip flops, a deflated soccer ball, a football, and some other warm clothes. The laptop I just got recently and has turned out to be pretty awesome. With Complete seasons of Chuck and Heroes, I hope to keep occupied for the next 24 on my trip to London Heathrow.
So I'm here in the airport with MAYBE 20 people in my line of site sitting at this computer station that I couldn't find since the WIFI in DFW is centrally located in a 5X5 foot area, haha. I haven't spotted this Stacey Braken that is supposidly on my flight with me who is also going to Harlaxton, but hopefully my openly placed BRIGHT ORANGE tag will help me.
