En route to Beirut

So, I left yesterday for Lebanon.
I hopped a plane from Cleveland to Dulles in DC, then to London, where I am currently in the business lounge, and will be departing for Beirut after a 5 hour layover.
Happily, my father used his frequent flier miles to secure my tickets, so I get first class and business class nearly the entire way. It's wonderful! Great food and BIG sleeping space! Yess!

I must admit that leaving was much more difficult than I had ever expected.
You see, Christian came to spend a week with me. He came Monday evening on a Greyhound from Pittsburgh to Akron, where My 'lyssa and I picked him up, and stayed until seeing me off at the airport.
It was horribly difficult leaving him, which I did not expect at all. I think it has something to do with us perhaps not being able to talk during the entire month of July. But he bought me a webcam so that we can chat (and so I can talk to Alyssa :-P ).

I am extremely excited to be going to Lebanon, though!
I am so ready to start studying Arabic again, for real.
And intensive Lebanese dialect courses! Hell yes!

I am so full of emotion.
So much emotion.
Many kinds.
I'm splitting at the seams.
I truly am.
