these are ramblings from the airplane :)

so, here we are... I am on the plane headed to Amsterdam, and I am sitting next to an awfully nice and spunky grandma. I met a girl at the airport whose initials are also AW. But her name is Acacia Wong, she's from Honolulu and flying to Manchester England to go to school. I believe that she is a freshman but she is really nice and I got her information so I can email her and we can stay in touch.. :)

I had a tough time getting going this morning. I cried and almost felt like I didnt want to go. I just kept concentrating on all of the htings I had to do now that I was actually going to be in Scotland in 15 hours. and how busy I would be and how I wont have much to begin with and everything... but then I got through the gate.... I got down to my terminal and then I felt awesome... I was going on an adventure man! I do know I am giong to miss Hilary like crazy nutso face, but that is to be expected. Its kinda funny.. all of my fears of being independent and crazy this week actually melted when I heard something... I thought at first that it was just because I was tired but, then I heard it again... I kept hearing a cat meow.. then I saw the fluffly little thing and just felt my tension go away.. that is until lift off. lol... I have only flown once before and that was to Hawaii and back.. not such a long trip but for somereason taxying the runway and getting ready to take off made me nervous as hell. but here I sit.. only 3 hours left of my first flight (first to Amsterdam and then to Aberdeen) and things are going well except a b**** passenger and a b**** flight attendant who said that I was a big girl andbeing a big girl I should be able to make my own decisions.. I only wanted to know if I could use the bathroom even though the seat buckle light was on. I had to go bad!!!but NOOOO she had to be ab**** about it.oh well... I have slept a little but probably not enough.. that and im having typing issues. maybe soon i can get my body to decide it needs a nap again. OH I almost forgot... the food is awesome.. I had chicken with rice, carrots and gravy along side with a dinner roll, a small salad, cheese and crackers and a chocolate chip blondie.. it was freaking amazing and that was dinner!!! in about an hour or so we get breakfast.. I kinda can't wait for that ｔｏｏ！

I got to amsterdam ok, it was not only the longest plane ride of my life but we also landed on the longest runway I have ever seen! I swear that thing was like 8 miles long and went over the top of two highways!!!OH and they fed us breakfast. omg it was so amazing!

the two hour layover wasn't bad but I kinda got lost inside the airport. the nice gramma next to me told me that I wouldn't get lost and it was straight forward.. well... I got lost.. but then after I found my gate and sat on the floor for a while.. a miracle happened.. I saw a GOD! not just a god but a very well dressed, super tall, blond haired, light olive skinned god. in a suit.. talking on a phone...So i've decided.. Europe is full of georgous men because I am now on my tiny airplane that KLM Royal Dutch likes to call a city hopper, and there are georgous men on here too! what are the odds? On my way to finding my gate I walked through the concourse of the airport in Amsterdam and saw all sorts of shops and it was like a freaking mall! they had a sworovsky crystal store!! and a flower bulb store! and they had nudie advertisements which made me giggle.

the take off was rather interesting because its only like a 50 seater. but it was good, and now I am sitting next to a great woman who helped me through take off and she is very friendly...and she informed me that we get tea and biscuits.. DEAR LORD I LOVE EUROPE!!! I had the best cookie... I mean biscuit I have had in my entire life.. well other than cake cookies and the chocochip cookies I make.. but lets put it this way... it was the best packaged cookie I have ever had! it was called a ChocoPrince... Made by Luc.. owned by K R A F T.. thats right kids... the mac and cheese people. it was milk chocolate on the outside of two shortbread wafers that sandwiched this amazing creamy stuff... it was like a euphorogasm.

So Officially I'm a time traveler... I traveled 9 hours into the future and now I'm traveling back an hour.. I like even hours...

Things I am observing on my little plane ride..

lthe lady next to me is reading a book...

lthere is ice on my window

lacross the aisle is a man in a green shirt sleeping with his mouth wide open

lthe guy behind him looks like Erin Brookshire's (formally Erin Gann and always Sorority Sister) husband

lthe guy in front of me speaks some language that I haven't figured out so Im going to call it hollandaise

lMuttMutt and I are covered in crumbs from our crackers and buscuits.

loh yeah... and someone right behind me stinks bad...

I was worried that my luggage wasn't going to make it to the right place but I felt much better when I saw it being loaded onto the plane before I got on.. and the lady next to me said she would take me to the carousel to get our luggage... Scottish People are friendly :) so all thats left for today is to go through customs, get to the school.. pick up my keys, go to my dorm, hopefully have time for a nap and then go to a compulsary meeting.. oh yeah and get my internet running.. and eat lunch.. and eat dinner... and take a damn shower.. I feel yucky.but I am super glad that Stacie let me have her phone... I was able to call home but I need to charge the thing :)

Now I am off to the store :)
