...now that might pose a problem when I try to come in December.. but maybe i'll just take a boat... ?? Haha. No seriously! I finally made it to England!! I thought I would never get here it seemed.. I left school yesterday morning at about 11 a.m. and I was walking into O'Hare by 1:30 p.m. After going through the wonderful long line for security.. I finally made it to my gate at about 2:30.. about 3 hours before my flight was supposeed to board people. Well.... since I'm going to England, why not get some rain before you leave too right? It started to rain in Chicago, they had a tornado warning.. so everyone from our section had to pile down into their little underground passageway. We looked like a herd of cattle.. seriously! Lol. About 15 minutes later we got to go back up.. Whoa! Yay! Exciting.. Around 5 the desk guy announces because of lightening we will have to post pone boarding a for 10 mintues.. 10 minutes later he says postponed for 15 minutes.. then he tells us our flight attendants are stuck in traffic! Oh boy..! So at about 6:45 p.m. [[remember this is about 20 minutes after we were supposed to have left already]] we finally got to load the plane! :) Oh but don't get too excited! Because.. that's right! More lightening!! So we got to sit inside the plane for almost 2 hours.. We got free food and drinks. Lol.
This is me.. when I finally got on the plane! Right before being told we didn't get to leave yet..
Basically, we took off at about 9 p.m. [[Wisconsin time]] and arrived into England at 10:45 a.m. Next was passports.. then baggage.. then customs. We were all so worried that the school's bus wouldn't be there anymore to pick us up since we had missed the meeting time... But the good news was everyone else had messed up flights because of weather so everyone got picked up! :) After a two hour bus ride.. which i slept most of.. we finally made it here! We got our room assignments.. and then we had our first dinner. Fish 'n' chips! Hehe. I live in the carriage house.. which is right outside the manor. My roomate is named Krista, she's a senior at U of Evansville. This is a picture of me.. outside the carriage house!
And then just a picture of the manor of Harlaxton College. Beautiful, huh?
Not to much else to really say.. We have orientation events all day tomorrow.. and a dinner with the President of the school.
I'll post more later!
XoXo,
Tiffany
