After rushing to complete an ochem lab report and frantically finishing my last minute packing, I headed off to the airport hoping that I had everything I needed. We sat in the airport for a little while before stressfully making our way through TSA and into the boarding area. It was a little while before we were able to board, so we played some games and relaxed. Looking back, that relaxation was probably much needed.
We finally were able to board the plane, and we were off to the Big Apple. The flight went by super fast, and the last part of the flight was actually really interesting, considering I had never seen NYC before. It was cool to see the city from a birds-eye view, even though I didn’t get to see downtown (to my knowledge). We landed and exited the flight, rushing to make our way to the next gate so we could board the long plane to London.
The flight to London was definitely tedious. I was up late the previous night, in hopes it would help me sleep on the plane, but unfortunately that wasn’t true in the slightest. I got maybe an hour of sleep total, which was much less than I was hoping for. While on the plane, however, I did get to witness a 4-of-a-kind on the river of a Texas Hold ’em game I was playing on the screen in front of me, which was pretty cool. Typically, I am a fan of free food, but I will say that they gave food at very inconvenient times. But it was free food, so I guess I can’t really complain all that much. The meal was pretty solid too, which was a pleasant surprise.
