24hours

The first twenty four hours of my trip were incredible. 

First of all, I had never been out of the states before. Second, I had never even been on a plane before. So there I was in Charlotte, at the airport, by myself, with no clue of where to go or what to do. I must have asked fifty questions to twenty different people all in under thirty five minutes. I was terrified and ecstatic all at the same time. 

Once I was on the plane and we had taken off, my nerves began to settle down. I was on my way to Poland, there was no turning back now. The flight was quite long (about 9 hours) but it wasn't too bad. I touched down in Munich around 8:30 am and waited for my next flight to Wroclaw. 

After arriving in Wroclaw, I boarded a van with several other students. Two from Turkey, one from Scotland, and Danielle and myself from North Carolina. I was in the back seat next to the luggage, and though I was being crushed by it, it made for interesting conversation. 

We all ventured out to the grocery store after being assigned to our rooms, and we cooked dinner for ourselves. We understood nothing that was written on the box, so we mostly just identified food by what it looked like. After dinner, we ventured out to the mall for internet access to announce our safe arrival to everyone at home. We then returned to the dorms to get some sleep.

Overall, I think I'm in for an excellent stay.....
