I am on the plane on the way to Tokyo-Narita. After a short trip to Atlanta, I got on a large plane for what is a nearly 14 hour flight. 14 hours is more than twice the amount you spend in school each day. I have already watched one movie and have started a second. If I don’t sleep, I could watch as many as 7 movies. The comedian Lewis Black describes the experience of a flight this long best. He says that to have a similar experience go sit on your toilet and squeeze your head, hard, for 14 hours. I have made this flight many many times. And usually after completing this 14 hour leg, I have another 7 hour flight. (In the video, I think I said another 17 hour flight, but that is just because of how tired I was), This time, however I get to spend a night in Narita, and get some desperately needed sleep.
I am excited about the adventure ahead. I know I will miss my family – Emmy, Ronan, and Katryne. I also know that I will have some great experiences and will learn many new things.
