So... I've realized that I've missed two days this month. I suck.

Yesterday wasn't that bad. I didn't do much. Crossed a lot of things off of my list of things to do. I have clean clothes because I finally got to do laundry. But I guess I had to because I had to pack.

Cause for a smile:

Today had to be the most hassleistic day ever. YES, I KNOW I TOTALLY MADE UP THAT WORD. But it was the only word I felt could describe my ordeal.

So, first of all, my friends and I were stuck in traffic on the way to the airport which made me think that I was going to be late. But then I got a phone call from the airlines saying that my flight was delayed. Point for me.

So, I get to the airport and check in all of my stuff. When I get to the gate, they say that I'm on standby. I have to wait until they board everyone to see if I can get on the flight. Point for airlines.

I don't get on my original flight, but I get reimbursed twice the amount of my fare because of it. Point for me.

They say that I'm going to get on a flight at 7 (my original flight was at 5). I get on a flight at 5:45. Point for me.

They were calling my name for awhile, but I didn't hear them, so I got a stern talking to. Point for them.

When I land in my Oakland, I missed my connecting flight to LA. Point for airlines.

I'm put on another standby list. Point for airlines.

I go to the gate and talk to the people. They give me a seat on the plane. Point for me.

And I'm ready to pass out!

BUT...

The end result?

I'm in California, with my family.

And considering all of the hassle and frustration, I was only an hour off schedule. 

I could not ask for more.

So, this is going to be an amazing Spring Break.

I just needed to get away from Oregon for a few days. Away from drama, away from the campus.

I am excited.

But this will be legendary.

And now I'm tired from my epic trip.

Good night.
