i know a place, where the grass is really greener

Ask me if I'm nervous now.

The answer is yes. I don't know how this happened. Today it hit me though and now I'm nervous as hell. I'm mostly nervous about the short stay in Paris though, to be honest. Finding my way on the airport... from one terminal to another. All in less than one hour because I need to check in at least one hour before the plane to LA takes off. Apparently I need to go by bus from one terminal to another and yeah,

I'm just a bit stressed out. No big deal.

And I've been under the impression that flying from Paris to Los Angeles takes 10 hours. Apparently it takes 11 hours and 30 minutes... this makes me a bit worried as well. I'm a bit claustrophobic and I'm afraid I will start thinking about the fact that there's no way to "get out" once I'm up there. I'll just need to remind myself to breathe.

Had dinner with my family today and everyone wanted to chime in with suggestions, plans and ideas. LOL. I love them all but they're a bit insane. My aunt was planning all my outfits for me and asked me to get her a role in a movie. My grand pa was pretty much telling me to stay inside the whole time and not to anything because he's been watching CSI and all those shows and Los Angeles is an extremely dangerous place.  My cousins' only demand is that I find Michael Jacksons star on the walk of fame, lie down on the ground and take a picture next to it.

There was a lot more but those were the main things. Can't wait to get home and all them all about my experiance on the other side of the world. <3

In 24 hours I will be on the plane towards Los Angeles and it'll be about nine hours left until we touch down at LAX.

It feels so unreal still. I'm super excited!

now it's only 10...

...days to go until I go to Los Angeles and it still feels kind of unreal. I don't think I'm actually going to understand that I'm going until I'm on that plane. I booked this trip at the end of March and since then time has gone by so quickly. Really... it feels like the months in-between have completely disappeared which is a good thing because I've been dying to get to Cali ever since... well, ever since a very long time now. The trip got shortened from three months to one month to two weeks (thanks to my lack of money) but at least I'm still going and two weeks is better than no weeks at all!

By this time, in 10 days I'm probably going to be at home still, nervous as hell... making sure I've packed everything and getting ready to go to the airport. My plane takes off at 12.30 on August 30th and I wonder if I will be able to sleep at all the night before I go. The less I sleep the better perhaps? Because then I'll be really tired and be able to sleep more on the 10,5 hour plane ride from Paris to Los Angeles. At 7.05 (local time) I will touch down in Los Angeles! Crazy!

All of this in only 10 freaking days. :D

Speaking of the number 10... I have to go work for 10 hours now. Yay. Only five more days left at work though, then I'm free for four weeks!!!
