All Aboard!!

I leave "tonight" at 12:30 AM on an Amtrak train headed to New York.  It will be a very bittersweet trip.  The bitter part is....my main purpose for going to NY is to see my grandma who is dying of cancer.  I am afraid to see her, because she is so weak now, but I don't want to miss this last opportunity to see her face to face.  The sweet part is....that while I am there, I will be able to see family members that I have not seen in many years.  I will also be seeing my mom, which I am VERY excited about. 
The 13 hour train ride sounds exciting to me.  I plan on sleeping most of the way, watching a video, and doing lots of Algebra.  I just pray that my stuff and myself are safe throughout the night.  I will be returning home next Tuesday morning.
