In The Airport!

(Short Explaination: I wasn't able to access the internet during the trip, and then when I got here I was so busy and also I forgot my password, so this is just backtracking because I wrote some stuff whilst in transit, for those of you who care. Read on.)

So here I sit in the midst of the Heathrow International Airport, surrounded by people with accents or speaking a completely different language entirely. I have to say it makes me really happy, because I feel so COOL. Hahaha. Ahem. So first of all, in Halifax, for the first flight (5 and a half hours) they put me in first class because somehow someone else stole my seat...? It worked for me; peace and quiet and extra leg room. And don’t forget hot towels! That was the first thing. The flight was long, and I didn’t get any sleep, but it was fine and everything went well. We land in Gatwick, and from there problems began. First off, Rob is minus a suitcase, so we are hoping that shows up in the near future, considering it has everything he owns save his shoes and laptop. Next off, Rob gets on a shuttle without Sarah, Marcus, and myself, and we haven’t seen him since. So we are currently sitting at the gate waiting for him expectantly. Hopefully he makes it.
So far so good. I like this trip; it’s kinda stressful, but fun, and I’m so excited to be seeing new things and I can’t wait to actually get to the school and find out who my roommate is!
(Note: another thing that almost went wrong was that Sarah, Marcus and I were at the wrong gate for like an hour and we didn’t realize it until it was almost too late. So we booked it down the huge airport and got to the correct gate just in time to board. Rob caught the next flight, so in the end it all worked out!)
One more thing – I ♥ my laptop.
