One word to describe the flight, warm. I was told airplanes are cold, but this one was not. I couldn't even wear my sweat shirt. 
    The lift off in the air was not terribly bad. I wish didn't have a headache before we got on the airplane. Then I probably would have been more excited for the lift off. The food on the airplane was really good, the bottom picture was the continental breakfast I chose from the other two choices they gave us. Dinner was delicious, I had chicken with peppers gravy and white rice with a blueberry desert pastry. 
    I slept a lot on the airplane. I am glad I was small enough to curl up in my seat because I don't think I would have slept well if I couldn't. 
    The landing of the airplane was definitely like a roller coaster going down the hill. Before we landed one of the passengers became ill, keep him in your prayers to get better. Overall, this next flight to China should not be too bad. Now, I am off to explore this Airport with this four hour overlay.

    On the road to Atlanta Delta Airlines from Greenwood was a very bumpy trip. I hope the airplane ride will not be the same way. Well hey, at least there won't be much riding on the road during the flight; only at the beginning and the end of the flight. 
    I am getting really excited about the trip  and a little bit hungry. Thank goodness we stopped at Chick-Fillet! I was starting to get tired, but everyone keeps telling me stay awake till the flight! I think I might fall asleep as soon as I get on the flight. It does not help being in a vehicle for 7 hours does not help with the tiredness.
    I really hope the people we meet overseas are as friendly as the International Students that come to Lander. I wonder if my height will be consider normal over there, unlike in U.S.A. 
    Once we arrive to the Airport  we had some technical difficulties getting out luggage out of the Bearcat Shuttle. I am unsure if the Shuttle wanted us to go to Asia. Going through Airport Security was not bad. We all made it through the sensors clear! Now its just the we wait for us to bored the flight,, I was told if I like Roller Coasters taking off and landing is exactly like it. With this said I am assuming I will enjoy the flight and my nerves are somewhat calm... We will see. Next stop Korean 
     Airlines!!!! This is really happening everyone!!!! Oh boy!! 

Today is the lift off day, no turning back now! Just arrived in Greenwood and
had a nice family meal at Taco Bell. It has just now hit me that we are going on
an airplane to arrive in Asia. I guess I am at the waiting game to get to
Atlanta for this flight.  I am excited to come back with a whole new
outlook on life! Watch out Friends and Family.

Today I had to mess around with computer stuff, but thank goodness I had help from Kiera Hodge, Jeff Constant, and my Mom to help me figure things out. My garden has all the weeds completely pulled out and looking very pretty, now all the vegetables and fruit do not have to worry about sharing their water! After unpacking my suitcase, repacking it and talking to family members on the phone, my Parents, Amanda, Vito and I relaxed at the River Dogs Game tonight! The River Dogs destroyed Kannapolis Intermediates! I finally  got a picture with Charlie and Chelsea River Dogs! 

Went to Siz O Daz to get my haircut and styled today with Kelsey. We are both representing the  pink and purple colors! While I was getting my hair done, I received a text saying my suitcase weighed in at 36.4lbs at the post office with the hand made gifts from a local artist Vito and I picked up earlier this morning! Now I just have to pack my carry on bag and then I will be ready for this trip! 

I have just purchased a plug adapter so, my American plugs can work in Asia! I am finally finished  packing my bag and will be taking it to the post office tomorrow to find out the actual weight; according to the house scale my suitcase weight is 33.4lbs. After a busy morning Mom, Vito and I made it to the beach and we all received beautiful sunburns, even after putting sunscreen on! At least I will have a tan at the beginning of the trip! :-)

Packed the necessities for this trip to Asia and my suitcase only weighs 20lbs!!!! This means I can add 10-20lbs more of stuff to bring. At least I will not be sitting on my suitcase trying to close it like I did in the picture on the left during the school year! :-)

Very productive day. Went to the phone company, bank, and doctor for getting everything ready for the trip. Best part about the day was receiving two shots. It seem like after being told these shots were going to make  my arms sore it seem like everyone wanted to hit one or both shoulders. NOT COOL, but it was tolerable. I am getting really excited about Saturday!

Courtesy to Matthew Houge for introducing me to this picture, I have decided this is my signature pose for tiredness and stress. Once I arrived into Charleston I was able to hang out with Emilie and Matt. I hope to visit Mrs. Chantel and her Family, Jenna, Amanda, and Vito this week before I go back to Greenwood to meet up with our International Team!
Looking at these boxes I have accumulated over the years makes me wish my bed was as tall as my Brother so, I can push them under my bed and have a clutter free room automatically! Well I guess I should get started cleaning, signing off, PEACE!!!

Today, I graduated with a Bachelor Degree in Environmental Science and a minor
in Chemistry. Tonight will be my last night in Greenwood, SC as
a Lander University Undergraduate, I can not wait for final grades to
be up so I can officially say I did it! After a great day
and night with family and friends, I will return back to Charleston on
Sunday. I would like to express to everyone (Professors, Employers, Friends
and Family) who have made a great impact on my life before and
during my time at Lander University how much I appreciate all the support,
advice, and patients everyone has given me.
