Flying jitters
by Josh Newsome on Jan.22, 2009, under Uncategorized
So it is 4:35 am.. and its 9 days until I am embark on my journey to San Francisco. This will also be my first time EVER flying. Needless to say, I am pretty nervous. I was laying in bed, just thinking about it. I think that the more I think about it, the more nervous I get about it. It would be much easier for me if I just didn’t think about it. But that is SO hard to do! Of course I am thinking about all the things that could go wrong with my flight. I am so afraid that I won’t be able to sleep the night before, and then when I get to San Francisco I will be too tired to do anything.
I just don’t know anymore. It is so discouraging. Especially with what happened the other day with the plane that had to do a water landing in a river. If that were to happen to me, and I then arrived at my destination.. would I want to get back on a plane? I can’t just not fly back. How would I get home? I am being such a baby right now.
There is a guy that comes into the store all the time, and he is a pilot. Maybe it would be wise for me to talk to him about it.
I know not many people read this.. but for those who do and have flown before: any tips?
