On the plane…

It’s 12:46 a.m right now where we’re currently at over the ocean on the Airbus. I’m listening to Ragtime with the plane’s complimentary headphones as I try and attempt to achieve fatigue. Last night I rolled around in bed for about 2 hours because of the anxiety that overwhelmed me- I’m on my way to Paris, France, for the first time in my life. I’m overcome with joy and curiosity. The flight is about 7 hours, but it doesn’t feel like 4 have passed by already. I just watched a movie called “Unfaithful” with Diane Lane and Richard Gere. I thought maybe the movie would make me a bit more tired but it failed to do so. Even the tiny bottle (complimentary, I might add) of red wine wasn’t enough to put me out. I wonder where we’re at right now over the ocean….somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic I would assume. I think of Rod as this music is playing because he and I listened to this soundtrack in his dad’s SUV earlier this winter break. I wonder what everyone is doing right now back in Walled Lake and Kalamazoo. I know I’ll miss my family and friends but right now there is nowhere else I’d rather be than on this plane, about to arrive in the country I’ve longed to visit for all my life.
