I am soo soo excited : )

Only 8 more days of high school left! Wow, that was the quickest 4 years of my LIFE!! This trip will be the perfect way to end and celebrate the last 4 years of my life. After I graduate on the 8th the next week will be the busiest week ever!! I have my graduation party, my friends graduation party, my cousins wedding, and getting everything ready for the trip! Oh well, it will be busy but then after that, i get to relax and enjoy the wonders of Europe!!
Top 5 Things:
0. Plane Ok, im putting this at zero because it doesnt really count as something i am excited for IN europe. I am soo excited for the plane ride. I actually Hate planes, I am scared to death of them!! I think its called like aeriophobia or something. When I was 11 I went to Myrtle Beach for a dance competition, we were on a really small plane, it only held maybe 40 people! When we were halfway there, we hit major turbulance, the plane dropped 10 feet and started violently shaking, I was soo scared, from then on, everytime I step on a plane, I just panick. With that being said, I am excited to conquer my fear of flying!! I havnt been on a plane for 5 years, so I am hoping that my fear has disapated on its own. I think that since I am with all my friends and classmates, that I wont be as scared... hopefully : )

1. London- specifically big ben, I am so excited to see all the national landmarks in all the different countries. When i think of London, i always think of big ben and the cute little guards that stand infront of the castles. Since I have never really been anywhere other than Disney world, whenever I see a national landmark I am just in awe of it : ) http://lifestyle.iloveindia.com/lounge/facts-about-big-ben-3458.html

2. Freedom- The furthest I have ever been away from my parents at one specific time is probably when i go on church retreats up north! At first when I signed up for the trip, I asked my Grandma if she would want to go with me, it was more of a comfort for me to have her there. As I thought more about it, I decided that my experience wouldnt be the same if she came. I love my grandma so so much, but i think i would get more out of the trip if i am on my own. After all, I am going to college in 4 months!!
3. Parler Francais- I am SO excited to go to France and actually understand the language! I have taken French for 5 years and I LOVE it!! I am so excited to order in French when we go to little cafes or shopping : ) And dont worry, I will for sure help anyone who needs assistance with translation hehe
4. Sistine Chapel- Like I said before, whenever I see something important, I am in Awe of if! I am really looking forward to seeing the Sistine Chapel and the famous artwork by Michaelangelo
5. Chunel- I am really curious about the Chunel that we take from London to Paris. It actually goes under the water...? I think it should be fun, im just glad we dont have to take another plane hehe
