In west philadelphia born and raised. On a playground... nope. I'm just in the Airport


Well, I'm in Philadelphia.. at the airport. Its fun.. i'm being slightly sarcastic.
I like having fairly long stop overs, so that I have time if something happens, like a delay in the previous flight, or getting lost, or customs.. etc.. So I was happy to have a 4 our stop over. It actually goes by pretty quickly. BUT we were supposed to board at 5:30pm, and leave by 6pm. It is now 7pm, and I'm still sitting here. They are “repairing” the plane... I say – take that plane, put it in the shop, and give us a spare one.. you know like when something happen to city bus.. they send a new one.. they really should have extra planes for times like these..

It's supposed to be like 41 degrees tomorrow in Phoenix, and supposed to feel like 45.. but i'm sitting here in the airport FREEEEZING!! I came in shorts and t shirt. Now i have a sweater on, and a scarf around my legs. I've been shivering for a while. Now my muscles hurt from being so tense.

Plus side to the trip so far- People in Philly are NICE!! everyone is all smiling, and two people said they loved my shoes, and continued to comment on how cute and comfortable they looked :)
I was sitting next to a guy on the plane from Halifax.. He was really nice. Usually I don't really like talking to people on the plane, cause sometimes it's pretty awkward. He was just really cool though.
He had asked me before the plane even left if I was a Mormon. Haha Is it that noticeable? Just kidding.
I told him I was going to Arizona for school, and he asked a bit about that, then I told him i was planning to transfer to BYU and he said “BYU? Brigham Young.” and i smiled and said “yep!” and he said “you're not Mormon are you?” and I said “Yep, I am” and he apologized for asking something personal.. haha so I said I didn't mind at all.

I found out that he is a philosophy student, from Halifax but going to school in Pittsburgh. He doesn't like flying much. He said taking off and landing makes him nervous. I agreed, but added that it was also really fun, like a roller coaster. I like that he humoured me.. He was a really nice guy. Made faces at a baby a few seats ahead of us, helped some people with their bags without being asked. Pretty decent.

I'm so cold!!! my nose is numb, as well as my legs!! and my back is breaking!
I'm also super tired! I am definitely going to be sleeping on this flight if it ever leaves.

I don't do well with travelling even though I love it. Haha. No matter how long the trip, or what happens.. my hair is guaranteed to look disgusting on arrival. And people get that “travel smell” haha i donno what it is.. but I don't like it.

Oh well, I guess for now my rant is over. It's too much effort to keep my laptop on my lap. Even though it is providing some warmth.

Peace out for now. :) Lets hope I make it to Arizona... although, I could get used to having people complimenting my shoes all the time :)
