There has been a slight change of plans..

Because though I am supposed to sit at a nice cafe in Paris now, eating croissants for breakfast, I am stuck in New Jersey. Yep, New Jersey. Was that even in my travel plans in the first place, you may ask, and the answer is hellno. Let me explain the 3 phases of yesterday.

Phase one, 4 PM ish:
Travel plan: Boston-Montreal-Paris
"I'm so sorry, but our flight to Montreal is delayed and you'll miss your connection, and all the flights to Paris are fully booked for the next few days". After a lot of running around, some unhelpful and some helpful people and a few panic attacks later:

Phase two, 9 PM ish
New Travel plan: Boston-Newark-Frankfurt-Paris
After arriving in Newark, being happy that everything worked out: "I'm sorry, we overbooked our flight, and you don't have seats. We can't help you." I go hunting for the airline I originally had tickets with. Nobody's around. I can't get a hold of anybody, I have nowhere to go.

Phase three, after midnight
Enter Sebastian. Manager-dude for United/Air Canada or one of those airlines. He did a lot of calling around and yelling at the right people, and suddenly it seemed as if I might actually get to Europe, though clearly the odds were against me.

NOW, 10.25 am
Travel plan: Newark-?-London. I think.
I got a hotelroom for the night, and am soon leaving to talk to Sebastian, as well as to get my suitcase back from the bastards who refused to give it to me last night. Hrmf.
As a finale, a picture of the best bed I have ever slept in.

We are destruction at its finest.

I'll be deaparting for Europe (Mainly France, England and Ireland) in less than an hour. Say no more.

I'm about to do something rediculously stupid, yet so fucking fantastic.

In other news.I got my semester grades today. And I have a new theory. If I hate a subject, I am bound to ace it, just as I am bound to fail the classes I love. Well, not fail, but close enough. If you didn't guess, I am not entirely happy about my grades. Next term, then. I've already started, I did all the homework due for today. Damn, was I proud. And my teachers were ecstatic, that says something about how often I do my work.

And now I'm seriously wondering if I can write just one single goddamn post without mentioning school. I've started a truly terrible trend here, guys. I swear I'll change, I swear!! Speaking of.. I swear too much. I swear to change my swearing? Uhm.. Might be in over my head on that one.

New semester

Tomorrow is the first day of my 2. semester at LS. Wow, time passes quickly. First of all: Why the heck would someone start a semester on a FRIDAY? That's just ridiculous. I mean, it might have something to do with the two snow days which we've just had.. It's still weird.
Second semester means 3 new classes. Yaay! No, not really. I was perfectly content with the ones I had. And I don't even want digital imaging or whatsitsname. Whinewhinewhine. But hey, I am guaranteed an awesome teacher in at least one of my English classes, which is good. And I've talked too much about school now. I'll stop.
Sadly, I don't have a lot of non-school related things to write about. "Then freakin' stop writing," you may be thinking. It's not that easy. I simply can't have an entire post only about school, it's depressing. So let's just add a competely non-topic random picture and say that's enough.

Oh yes we're studying.

Pictures speak louder than words, right? So, screw my title, look at the pictures, and judge for yourselves.

You know they say that bad things get better the second time around? Yeah? That's fucking bullshit.

I miss my brother. Last time I saw him? A few hours ago. Next time I'll see him? Oh, about half a year from now. Goodbyes really suck. And now I'm sitting in my suddenly too big and too lonely house blasting The Mars Volta. A wonderful way to spend a Friday evening. At least I've got good music.

Oh, while I'm writing in such a cheerful tone, I'll throw in a quote from my teacher concerning the great depression: "But.. How did prohibition really end then?" "Honestly, after the great depression.. I think they all just needed a drink."

And now, my dear readers who have not read a post from me in a month, I could make up some lousy excuse and apologize, but I'm simply going to move in to my bed now and stay there for a few days or so. And since I'm too lazy to take a picture of my own, here's a google-picture of a random bed that looks pretty comfy. 'night mates!

No name blog post.

System of a Down to reunite in 2011
The L.A. metal band has booked 10 shows in Europe next spring, after a five-year hiatus. "We have no master plan," the group wrote on its website. "We are playing these shows simply because we want to play together again."
-Rolling Stone, Issue 1120/1121

Today just got a lot better. Issue? Tours in Europe. Europe. I'm not in Europe. Issue #2? The concert dates are basically right on my graduation/the two weeks after, when mom is visiting me in the States. Only solution? Going to Milan two days before graduation. I better find a way to make this work.
