This semester in London has been amazing. It was one of the best experiences of my life, and I would not change it for the world...well most of it. What I would change is my commute home. I had the most ridiculous commute ever. You would think when I booked my ticket home, 6 months ago, that it would be easy to get home. However, this is not the case.
If you are not aware, the Eyjafjallajokull volcano in Iceland just keeps on erupting and has a huge ash cloud coming from it. I do not know if you are also aware, the volcano hasn't erupted in hundreds of years. Anyway... I get to airport at 8am for my 11:35 flight. I got through check-in and security without any problems. I find my gate, sit down to board and everything is going well. Then about 5 minutes before we were supposed to board, they tell my my flight was cancelled!! Seriously, why me? Then after not knowing what to do and not being told anything for about 30 mins, I find out I couldn't fly because they plane was to small to go around the ash cloud. Why can't they just get a new plane??? Apparently that is not possibly. So I got wait in line for another 30 mins to find my new flight assignment: Fly to Chicago O'Hare in 3 hours and then transfer to Boston coming in at 1am. Sounds good right? Well of course that would not work out. The flight to Chicago was fine - except we had to go around the ash cloud so it was another 1 hour and 15 mins. After running through the airport, cutting the customs line, running to find out baggage, we missed our plane because of the delay. Now, I could not even find any of my luggage in chicago so I had no clothes, nothing. Slept in the Crown Plaza with Vanessa, which we thought was free - nope - but it was discounted. An amazing hotel, with a great shower and bed. Good thing we were in it for 5 hours because we had to wake up at 4am to get on the 7am flight. Everything from there worked out fine - still no luggage when I landed though. Finally got my luggage the next day at 10 am and everything is well. What a fun trip. Rachel and my mom picked my up at the airport with a bagel world bagel in hand :-D. Stacy and Aunt Sue came over for stroganoff and belinis.
Also, I did not know if you heard, there was a hung parliament in britain. Another thing that hasnt happened in like 60 years. Why me?
Anyways, this semester has been awesome, like i said. It was so incredible. Learned a lot about myself, London and THE BEATLES.
Wolfpack <3 forever and always
