Goodbye New York, Hello Rome

So,this is my official first blog post. I am currently on the plane writing my first post which seems to fit the pattern of my life fr the past three days; last minute. My parents tell me that it takes a team of three to take care of me (them and my boyfriend) but I disagree. I am very self sufficient but sometimes very careless which can be sto a trio of neurodic worriers. Just because I dont plan days ahead for things does not mean that I won't get them done, I will, just on my own time. My name is Caitlyn Wrynn and I am a junior at Sacred Heart University. The plane I'm sitting on is headed to Lodon and from there I will be traveling to Rome. I am studying at John Cabot University for the next four months.

I was supposed to write this blog post a while ago to explain to everyone my plans and feelings about my upcoming trip, but I really had nothing to say until today. It only hit me that I was actually leaving my family and friends as I was waving goodbye to them a mere few hours ago. Everyone was asking me if I was nervous or excited, but I was neither, I was simply content.

I'm one of those "take it as it comes" people. I dont get worked up over things. When I tell my mom not worry she tells me, "since you dont worry about anything, if i didn't, who would!?"...she has a point. But everything has worked out for me so far.

My flight was surprisingly pleasant. My three best friends, boyfriend, and parents took me to the airport to see me off. I wasn't sad because I really didn't feel like I was leaving. It's only now as I gaze out the window into the clouds covering London that I feel it.

I am about to land, so I have ot turn my cell phone off, but when I arive there will be pictures and more interesting things to come! Ciao
