as we approached security i soon realized the long plane ride ahead and my smile slowly dissentegrated. my nerves caught up with me half-way theough the line.
did i pack everything? did i pack my strawberry coconut face wash?
these thoughts haunted my concious. i lifted my bag onto the belt and walked the weird arch metal detector-thingy. the smell of office cleaners filled my nostrils
ahh a public place i mentally groaned.
after everyone was done with security we headed to the gate. the walkways and gates were crowded for spring brekers. i mentally groaned again. a women's voice came on the intercom:
"flight 316 to north carolina one way, you may start boarding."
everyone in the gate became uneasy and figity, like myself.
this is it, i thought.
