Last midterm, done and done.
and now.. on to Barcelona!
We left our last class a few minutes early in order to run to the bus to get to the airport because our plane was supposed to leave at eight thirty.. However, it was delayed (big surprise there) so we didn't leave until about nine thirty. We arrived in Barcelona at about eleven and got to the hostel without any problems! Then we were off to bed to rest up for the next few days!
Sine my plane was delayed today, I feel it is a good time to explain a few things about traveling in Europe. Its chaos. Planes rarely leave on time, the airports don't post the gate number until about 15 minutes before your plane is scheduled to leave, they make you put your bag in the sizer box about 17 times before you get on the plane, a line begins to form at the departure gate as soon the gate is posted, why do they line up you may ask? its because theres no assigned seating on the planes so its a giant free for all... and then they wonder why they are always running late..
Exhibit B: see the yellow door with the guy looking through the window at fire? the story here goes "if you happen to see fire outside of your window on the plane, please refrain from exiting that window.. choose a different one.." well.. here's your sign.

Picture of the day 1: aaannnndddd this is what we call the box struggle. I'm serious when I say they make you put your bag in the box EVERY single time you get on the plane, and often more than once.
Picture of the day 2: This one is solely for entertainment. In order to pass the time, Hannah and I tend to make up our own safety instructions on the plane.. seeing as the pictures to the safety instructions are incredibly funny..
FOR EXAMPLE: see the three crossed out circles in the bottom left corner? inside those circles are 1. dentures 2. high heels. and 3. glasses 4. jewelry... these are things you are supposed to leave behind?!!
