In... 7 hours, I am waking up to get dressed and stuff last minute things in my bag for my epic study abroad trip. Here's my itinerary so you all in LJ land will get the jist. I'm stoked, nervous, and know I'll be tired by the time that I actually do fall asleep in my hostel. SO!
8:00am: wake up, stuff last minute things in my bag, shower, etc.
9:15am: Drive to Airport... gotta be there 2 hours early (who actually does this? pssh but international, gotta roll wit 'em, yo!)
11:55am: Zoom zoom TO ...oh god.. O'hare: The notoriously delayed airport
5:55pm: Land in O'Hare and... chill. read a book, pray my flight isn't delayed
8:35pm: Red eye to FRANKFURT
March 27th, 11:05am: Oh my geez, DEUTSCHLAND.....and then I nap in the Frankfurt airport b/c that is the only socially acceptable place to fall asleep on a bench with bags draped around you. Oh and at some point, I'll take a train into Frankfurt to grab some food and get ready for my train ride aaat...
8:00pm: Train Ride: Frankfurt to Vienna West Bahnhof (Near zee hostel
March 28th, 6AM: Arrive in BEAUTIFUL Vienna... exhausted.. sleep deprived
...and I can't check into my hostel until like...2pm. So my plan: Stop by, ask to drop off my bags, beg, plead, etc. Just get rid of my bags and then go sit in a coffee house and konk out.. or something of that sort. Whatever. I'll figure it out.
For those that don't know, I am studying abroad for Spring quarter in Vienna. The program goes from March 29th - June 26th and consists of intensive german courses and some culture classes as well. Then, I'm shipping a bag home and backpacking around Europe until July 22nd. Already, I plan on meeting up with Kate from BU and some other people who happen to be in Europe. I'm scared, I'm stoked, I'm nervous. My heart is beating like a hammer. Doesn't really matter. Tomorrow, I'm on a plane, east, to the parts of Europe that I have yet to explore. :) I'll keep ya posted. Or try.
