The E has landed
Posted on | January 4, 2008 | 1 Comment
The flight out wasn’t a traumatizing as I thought it would be. I had a nice space between me and my next seat-mate. He read Harry Potter and napped. We shared the empty seat between us, he used it for storage, and I let my knees rest on the seat. I stared out the window and watched movies on my PSP.
The connection in Philly got a little tricky. My stomach demanded food, so I found a little kiosk that sold breakfast stuff. They made me a “Philly egg sandwich”… it worked. The hole in my stomach shut up. But the flight between Pilly and Pittsburgh flew by (get it… flew… hehehe — I’m really freaking tired). I didn’t even have a chance to try to nap. Of course, the monstrosity of a man that sat next to me fell asleep immediately, leaned into my slim space, and snored. I think the gods were punishing me for keeping D up all those nights.
On the flight out last night, we had about 5 military guys, in full uniform. The airline made sure that each one was upgraded, and all five of them sat in first class. They beamed as I walked by, lugging too many electronics on my tired shoulders. One of them said it was his first time being in first class. I think they deserved it. I know at least one of them was due over in Iraq soon. Eavesdropping is a hobby of mine.
Now I’m waiting for a classmate. She is due to arrive in about an hour, then we will head out to Greensburg and school. Actually, we will head to the hotel where I will shower and take a freaking nap. I need one. Then we will go to dinner with a bunch of the class and attend orientation later in the evening. I plan on making it an early night.Oh, and Portland has spoiled me for coffee. This piss I am drinking only smells like coffee if you plug your nose. The caffeine better work.
