Waiting in Amsterdam... without a ticket!


So packing was a disaster.  I had aimed at being done packing by Friday, so I’ve have all of Saturday to relax and review if I forgot anything or could remove anything unnecessary or whatever.  I was still rearranging and packing Sunday after church! I left Sunday night.  I had to leave Muskegon by 2.  It was a mess.
            Anyway, don’t let anyone tell you it’s easy to study abroad. It’s terrifying.  Especially since, right now I’m sitting at the airport in Amsterdam without a ton of critical information.  For instance…
·            *I don’t have my connecting flight boarding pass
·            *I can’t find the girls I’m supposed to be meeting up with to ask them if they have their boarding passes
·            *There is no one at the Royal Jordanian check in desk for another hour.
I don’t  know…
·             *who I’ll be living with for the next 4 months
·             *what my internship will be
Also…
·             *I’m not really sure what time it is.

I mean, do I go off home time for now? Or Amsterdam time? Or jump right to Jordanian time? (Which FYI is 7 hours ahead of Michigan.)

Its 4 AM Michigan time.  10 AM Amsterdam. And 11 AM in Amman.  I haven’t slept yet. And I barely slept yesterday between packing and wanting to hang out.  (By the way, Dad—sorry for not making you aware Andy would be arriving after you went to bed and sleeping on the couch.  I’m told that was a surprise to have a strange man on the couch…everyone else in the house knew. Opps!)
