The Journey/Temporary Home

Well here it is...the long awaited blog post.
The goodbyes at the airport were to my surprise quite emotional...yes even my hard heart cracked a little bit. Although I must say it was not much help having Barry there, my mom crying (who NEVER cries about things like this) my dad, and my dera friend Patty came to surprise me and see me off. I held myself together as best as I could and said my goodbyes and was off. My flights went smoothly, they were long but both arrived and departed on time. I had no trouble with my flights (except that I almost missed my flight from Georgia!) Thankfully God had an eye for me this whole trip! I did not sleep at all on the plane (so if this blog makes no sense that is why), once our plane landed in England I met a girl on my flight named Kelsey who was going to the same school so we walked together and helped each other out. We waited in customs for probably 15 minutes and went to claim our baggage, we were the first people from our school to arrive which consequently allowed us to have wait an hour and half before we could leave the airport. Once we left the airport it was a 2 hour drive to the school, I tried to dose on and off on the drive because I was feeling sick but it didn't really work. Once we were at the University of Hull we had a quick introductory meeting and were taking to our housing...and that is where I sadly had to depart from my friend Kelsey with no way of getting a hold of her. I went to my housing and to my unfortunate surprise none of my housemates have arrived yet...so I was very alone. I left my house to get some money and to purchase an internet cable so I could have internet in my room. I came back from my adventure only to be disappointed that the cable doesn't fit. So, I had no sleep, I had yet to cry, I was alone...so I cracked. I just broke down and started crying, wishing to give anything to come back to America. After much praying and calming myself down I managed to unpack everything and decided to feel more comfortable. I decided I would just go to sleep and in the morning things would be better. Well... ended up only being able to sleep for a couple of hours. Bored out of my mind I took a walk to the library and that brings me to where I am now...writing this blog in the computer lab. There is a party tonight for all the international students at 11:00-midnight so hopefully that will cheer me up and get my mind off things. I still feel really sick, I need to eat but I don't have any food and I don't see anything around.
Prayers are much needed and appreciated.
Tomorrow we have orientation and tours and I think once everything gets figured out I will feel much better.
That is all for now.

Ps: Carrie Underwood's new CD makes for great airplane music!
