I'm sitting in the BWI airport, waiting for my puddle-jumper plane to Philadelphia. It's a part of the airport I have never been in, no restaurants or shops, just chairs and sliding doors out onto the tarmac. I arrive with plenty of time to get through security and find my gate, and now have watched two earlier flights board.
I have mixed emotions about leaving today. I am very excited to be going to Madrid and starting my semester abroad, but it still feels unreal. I said goodbye to my family and friends, but I still feel as if nothing different has begun. Hopefully my long overseas flight will make it real for me, and if it doesn't, there is always the moment I step into the airport in Madrid.
