Leaving on a jet plane

Arrived at O'Hare a few hours ago! After a few long days of making sure everything was packed, I'm finally leaving. Since the flight is international, we had to be here 3 hours early. We walked to our gate and then were allowed to explore for 1.5 hours until boarding time (3:00 pm). I stocked up on water and grabbed a bagel for lunch. I'm planning on reading my summer reading English book on the plane (Mississippi by Anthony Walton), and then hopefully getting a wink of sleep (they've planned a full day for us once we land since it will be about 7:00 am there), which shouldn't be too difficult since I'm exhausted.

Thanks to mom and dad for helping me pack and dropping me off at the airport!
