London is here, and so am I.

May 29, 2001

I have made it friends. Granted I got here 16 hours later than I had expected, but I am here. Mine and Kara's plane was scheduled to take off at 5pm sunday, but was delayed. So, we decided to get on the 9pm flight since it was more convenient overall. Dumb for us. We get there and as soon as we arrive the sign says "Flight is Delayed." The guy comes on the megaphone and says "I'm sorry but I have some bad news. The plane has a broken engine and cannot take off this evening. The next 747 arrives in the morning. The flight will leave at 8am." Woo-freakin-hoo. So we go back home, go to sleep, wake up and head back. When we arrive all is well and we hang out for a while. We go back to the gate and it is delayed another hour. We cry at this point, but know it will be ok. Finally, at 9:10 we are on the plane and it is moving. We arrived at midnight london time on Monday. I am glad to have made it.

Today was our first day of orientation and everyone on the program seems really cool. I think this going to be a lot of fun. The only thing that really sucks is that I didn't get a design internship. I got one at a music PR place. The good news about it is that Kara got the same one. So I'll let you know how that all works out next week. For now, I am going to go try and get a cell phone since my flat won't have a land line. What's a boy to do. Adios.
