On the plane to LA

(This is what I would have wrote had they not cut off my internet after a half hour unless you paid)
Right now I am sitting on the plane to LA! They have WiFi which is awesome. I left Philly today around 2:30, staying in Philly last night was a good idea because we didn't have to rush at all. I was worried about baggage but my big suitcase weighed in at 44.5 lbs and then when I got to the gate the flight was so packed that by the time I boarded they were having everyone check their large carry-ons complimentary so I sent that bag off to Fiji and didn't have to worry anymore about whether or not it would fit or if I would have to pay fees and I didn't have to carry it around anymore  I got to keep my backpack which is all I really needed. When I got to the gate I met two other people who were in my program who go to Penn State. Once I get to LA I will meet the rest of the group. It is still pretty surreal that I am not going to be back until July but I am getting more and more excited and I am no longer nervous. It was pretty hard saying goodbye to everyone, especially Blair, I am still excited for the adventures ahead, though! I've attached a picture of my entire luggage that I will be using for the rest of my trip! I left an entirely full closet and set of drawers at home.
