I’m on JetBlue flight number 922 back to Boston now and the pilot told us a few moments ago that we should land around 9:30, which is roughly an hour ahead of schedule. Flying at night when the sky is clear is the most amazing thing. I keep staring out my window because we just keep flying over cities and towns that just look like strands of Christmas lights strewn over a black sheet. It’s really wonderful. I hope when I fly down to the FLA for my cousins wedding I’ll get to fly at night.
The girls sitting in front of me on this flight are terribly obnoxious human beings and I cannot wait to not be sitting behind them anymore. They put their seats back so I basically have no room to move and the TV in the back of the seat that I was watching John & Kate Plus 8 on is now roughly 6 inches from my face, so I am now writing this and listening to Modest Mouse because my eyes were hurting from being that close to a screen. They are both overweight and came onto the flight with bags from McDonalds, the disgusting fucks. When we boarded, one of them put her bag in the overhead compartment and her shirt came up to reveal a horrific stomach that was, and I kid you not, hairy and looked like it had razor burn. I honestly gagged and I’m pretty sure she saw because she promptly pulled her shirt back down.
I cannot wait to sleep in my own bed in my own dorm room tonight. I also cannot wait to shower because Danielle’s bathroom was so gross I felt less clean after taking a shower there, and I left my razor at school so I haven’t shaved my legs in a week. No more floors to sleep on and grimy showers in dirty apartments with drugged up girls and 33-year-old men for me! I’ll probably miss running around Chicago with Heather in a week and wish I was back there, but hopefully this trip will make Heather and I hang out more often. It’s hard going from living with someone for a year and then never seeing them because they moved into an apartment far enough away that it’s a pain to go to when it’s cold in Boston.
I’m excited for it to be tomorrow so I can wake up to my dorm room that has Internet access and my view over lower income housing. Plus I’ll get to see both Kristine and Bill. Even though I’ve only been gone for a week I missed the two of them a whole lot. Bill and I are going to a show at the Dover Brickhouse tomorrow night, which is cool because I really like that place since it has a bar I can park my butt on during bands I don’t want to be up front for. Hopefully I’ll get to see Molly this week since I haven’t seen her in like 2 weeks. She’ll be on spring break so I’m assuming we’ll find time to hang out.
