Today was a heavy day on campus as we said our last goodbyes. Up and ready by 715 to attend the closing ceremony, everything just happened so quickly. One moment we were smiling and laughing, the next we were ripped apart from each other ((ok. maybe that’s a little harsh)) But that is certainly what it felt like. After one last breakfast with our TA groups, this time with Aaron!, we hugged out last goodbyes and cried our last tears. This process I had to endure on several occasions for my shuttle to the airport was the last.
That being said, airport travel is not pleasant. Shuttle at 12 -> flight supposedly at 6 -> delayed, and so was the one before it -> transferred to an earlier flight leaving at 3 for LAX from SFO ((I’m lucky I still had some NSLC people with me on the flight to keep me company!)) -> next came the 6 torturous hours of waiting for my flight at 11 -> said flight was only 3 hrs but it was during the night and there was a time zone shift by 3 hours. Needless to say, I’m exhausted.
{It was obvious I had fun with the front view camera for a majority of the time}
I was however able to entertain myself with some Frankenstein reading, some snapchatting/asrtsy selfie taking ((I succumbed to the pressure. They made me get one)), and watching Netflix on the go. Not the most productive 6 hours, but hey what can I say? Actually scratch that, it was productive -- I found Benedict Cumberbatch! (Or more likely, his doppelganger) I was also lucky in that I got to sit next to 2 really awesome guys, and one of them was also a writer and we talked about history and what not, and he told me he was currently working on two scripts: an actin-thriller and a sci-fi. Good luck to him! He also suggested I start watching Game of Thrones. which I've actually been meaning to do anyway!
Anyways, it was a bittersweet end, and although I miss it, boy did it feel good once again be home.
