My first time out of the country. Feelings of terror and
anticipation filled my head. I know I had a reliable companion in Dr. Kleine to
comfort me. He saw me cringe upon feeling the plane escalate into higher and
higher altitudes, the wheels fold back up into the plane, and the acceleration
downwards as the plane spiraled towards the airport. The first leg of the
flight was over quicker than I expected. The second international flight took
over a day. The up-side to this was that we were served some decent food, and
we were able to watch exclusive movies and listen to some quality music (I
opted for Tchaikovsky’s D Violin Concerto). A highlight of the trip was being
so high above the clouds. Nighttime over the Atlantic at the apex of our course
was a magical experience. Never before had I been so close to the stars and I
did my best to appreciate their clarity; it’s as if they were trying to tell me
something.
