2 Hours from Take-Off

I started this at the Airport yesterday and went to send it and my internet conked out and wouldn't come back. I am currently sitting in my room at the Rossio Hostel in Lisbon. The next post will be about my first day here today.

I am sitting in Philadelphia International Airport right now in the last two hours of my 9 hour layover. Forgive me for not updating this recently but I have been running around like a crazy person trying to get ready for the trip. I was supposed to have a ten page paper written globalization finished this evening and I just got time to start it this morning.

After running errands, doing laundry and packing all day yesterday I finally got to bed around 3 am. I awoke at 7 this morning to tie up the last few odds and ends and grab the light rail from my apartment down to Baltimore/Washington International (BWI.) On my flight from Bmore to Philly I sat next to a very gorgeous, awesome, down to earth girl who I totally hit it off with. Unfortunately, that flight lasted all of 13 minutes and she was headed down to North Carolina right after we got into Philly. Better luck next time, huh?

I spent the day working on my paper and finally finished it up about an hour ago. Afterward I treated myself to a glass of wine and a panini. I am currently waiting for a girl in my class to show up (she got a flight with a normal length layover) so we can go have a few before we get on the plane. We touch down in Portugal at 8:30 am local time (2:30 am eastern time.) I am going to try my best to sleep on the flight
