The Big DELAY

Well, it's 12:35 AM and I am still in Miami. My 11:20 PM flight has been delayed twice until 2:45 AM. Luckily, there are about 25 of us hanging out in one corner of gate E8. I hope all this waiting will make me tired enough to sleep through the night on the plane.
Everyone I've met so far is really nice. The majority are girls and everyone seems different and unique in their own way and many of us are from different parts of the country which is also interesting. There are 4 girls from Davidson College & 2 girls from Chapel Hill, so everyones been playing the "Do you know who "such and such" is?" game. Oh well, it passes the time. For the most part, everyone is nervous about their spanish speaking skills, which makes me feel better. I think it will work out well if a lot of us are on the same levels. I've also found some people who are interested in skiing, so hopefully, I can do that soon!
Mom, Dad, Molly, Molly Jo, Kristin & Brock, thank you for the very nice send-off today. I really appreciated it. And Happy Birthday Andrew!
