Just the thought of sitting there for that long and getting up only to go to the bathroom makes me nervous. This was just the plane ride fears! I&#8217;ve never traveled abroad to Europe before, so I don&#8217;t really know what to expect. I&#8217;ve been to all of the orientations for my study abroad, so I know what they warn against and what to expect. But aside from the fears of just traveling a long distance, I am super excited to travel abroad because they always say to travel while in school because it is the best time. I&#8217;ve finished packing and somehow was able to put 21 days worth of clothes into one carry on suitcase. It definitely won&#8217;t be the most stylish outfits, but I learned in the orientation that we should be trying to blend in as much as possible in the countries we travel. Another thing that I am excited about and comforted is the idea that Dr. Smalley and Professor van Iersel are the trip organizers and leaders. I&#8217;ve known both through the Horticulture Club and classes they&#8217;ve taught and feel very\u00a0confident in their ability to safely lead us through Europe. I&#8217;m so excited to see where the trip will lead, wish me safe travels!<\/p>\n<p>-Sarah Houtsma<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To begin, I never fully understood how people can sit on a plane for 9-12 hours.
