The boring stuff:
Packing was stressful. I was up till, 1:30. I didn't really forget anything too important. I ka-klunkered my bags downstairs at 730. There were no problems at Bradley.

Leaving wasn't really too difficult. I think i was too tired for that, but I'm sure that now, once I get some sleep, homesickness will set in. I was at the detroit airport for 15 min. before I saw another student. However, we soon collected into a giant obnoxious ameba. There were around 15 of us all told, maybe a little more. Most of us went out on the same flight, but some went a little earlier, and one poor girl had to wait until 9 p.m.. The plane ride was fine.
In Amsterdam I got patted down because I left my shoes on when I went through the metal detector. They also hand searched my carry-on. It was kinda awkward. It took forever to repack my bag. I had so much electronic/metal crap to deal with.

I'm sorry my writing is so boring.

One of the first things we noticed at the Helsinki airport was that it was almost silent. I kid you not, and we were right next to a full cafe. It was like a library, and one of the weirdest experiences of my life. Everyone else was so quiet.

By the time I got to the Karkku language camp, I traveled 21 or so hrs. I didn't sleep at all. I took the picture in Amsterdam. That is what I felt like.
