Current time: 2 p.m. at LA Airport
Here I am at LAX waiting to board my next flight to go to Montreal. Have to wait for 10 hours as my next flight is a midnight flight. *Sigh* really learnt my lesson. Next time when choosing flight, must also look for convenience, not only the price. Arghh!!
Had to actually check out, go through customs and then check in again. Thank goodness I was able to check in my huge luggages right away orelse I would have to drag them along with me. I am at the airport with no internet connection. there is actually but i don't wanna pay. So yea, typing this out on word. Bought a blended caramel mocha and it taste so yum!! Don't even feel like finishing it. Ishh!! 10 hours wait.
The flight from Auckland to LA was a 13 hours flight. Didn't felt too long. Watched one movie-Waitress, it was alright. Slept and soon ... it was breakfast time. Watched Blind Date but didn't get to finish it. Quite a good movie I reckon'. Wanna finish watching it!!
During the start of the flight, I was terrified. It really struck me that I have left the ones I love and will dearly miss for 5 months! And to some, even longer!! It was only after my first semester exams where I started to meet more great friends. And the friendship grew stronger after that. And now, I'm leaving them. It was like... shit!! It's really true that I won't be seeing them for 5 months! It's not just a dream. At one point, I really wish I could get out of the plane and don't wanna go for exchange at all. But, the plane was already in the air. No more turning back now. What have I gotten myself into? I am going to the other side of the world!! I could have just stayed in Auckland. I don't mind the responsibilities anymore because there's also heaps of fun to it. 5 months. Kept on telling myself once I get to Montreal, I'll slowly adapt and have fun and time will fly. I will be fine.I tried to tell myself I am strong but deep inside, I'm not. Then there were also the thought of getting to Canada and then buying a ticket straight back to NZ. Haha!! I was scared. What if I can't make it? What if I cry myself to bed every night coz I miss home. Man, all these thoughts. My heart was beating really fast. But............................ I fell asleep.
Woke up and then it was dinner time. Didn't really have the mood to eat but I still ate since I paid for it! Was still thinking about all the thoughts I had. I guess that was my emo time. Wasn't emo-ing until I was about to board the plane. So to stop me from thinking even more, I decided to watch a movie. It really helped. Forgot about everything and soon enough, I fell asleep again. When I woke up, I felt much better and the movie Blind Date was a good movie and made me happy again.
Now, I'm all good. It is normal for someone to have all those thoughts. As long as it don't get to me so much and ruin my exchange experience, then it's all good. No, I won't be crying myself to bed every night nor any nights at all. I finally am ready. Ready to face this and take up the challenge. I will return. I will return with lots of stories to tell. I will return and say that I had a great time and it will be one of the best things that ever happened to me.
Bring it On!! I'm not thrash talking like the usual this time. I am for real!!
Alright, i shall now attempt to finish at least day 3 and day 4 of my south island trip. Wahahahaha! Swan, done urs yet? lolx!!!
