Ok i'll admit it I was still stuck in Spring Break mode...but it was hard not to be when you just got off a plane and headed straight for the writing center. Upon arriving (albeit 20 minutes late), Emily and I sat down and chatted, once again no students took advantage of the writing center. The conversation this time however had nothing to do with writing but rather life. Yes it was 2:20 PM on a Thursday...but I had literally just gotten off a plane after an "Amazing Race-esque" Spring Break. Guess I better go into details, huh? On March 7th my friend and I headed off to the Richmond International Airport hoping to catch the 1 PM flight to Dallas/Fort Worth and then the 6 PM to Salt Lake City. That however did not happen, flights were cancelled and we were told we wouldn't be able to leave until Monday or Tuesday. So we did the logical thing (NOT!) and hopped into another friends car and headed for Washington DC. Upon arriving in DC we headed to George Washington University and stayed with yet another friend for the night. At 4 AM a cab arrived and whisked us away to the Reagan National (note not International, no flights leave American from DCA) Airport. From there we boarded a 655 AM flight for DFW. Made it Dallas no flaws, smooth flying from there right??? WRONG! Instead we are stranded in Dallas and wind up spending the night with my Uncle in Plano, Texas. Finally on March 10th, at noon we arrive in BEAUTIFUL Park City, UTAH, my home...skiing and fun stuff goes down...fly back to Richmond on 3/17/08...no problems right???...WRONG! We made it to Dallas with a huge hitch, my friend got violently ill and had to be hospitalized in Dallas. Then all the flights on the 18th were cancelled, pushing the flight we were going to take back to the 20th...Fun.
Anyway we made it safely and in one piece back to campus on March 20th, and from there I went straight to the writing center only to find out that Emily hasn't had a client all week. Oh well...at least I am back on campus.
