is what a package tracking website would say if I were a package being sent to Beijing. But I am a person, so I'll just have to keep you updated. I use singular pronouns when I write in my journal, so you get them too, even though there are more than one of you. We just don't have a plural you that I feel comfortable writing in English. y'all--good for talking, but not so much writing. you guys--too much work. So we'll stick with you.
I am only as far as the Columbus airport right now, but I arrived 3 hours early, which was more than necessary. The baggage lady even commented on how early I was. I overstuffed my carry-on bag, so I got stopped for them to check it, but everyone has been nice, and I did the liquids just like I was supposed to (smaller than 3 oz., sealed in a plastic bag).
Things went well this morning--my grandma made Jake and me some awesome eggs and bacon and toast and coffee, and I got out of the house on time, and I made it through all of the baggage check sort of things without any problems. I think I have to do customs in China maybe, but I didn't bring anything crazy so I should be alright. I brought a book of Classical Chinese poems Jake's sister gave me, so I might even get some bonus points.
Now I'm just sitting around, enjoying the sunrise out the window and waiting to go. More later!
