DreamNid's Hangout

Wow, that certainly went by quick.

Carl and I left our dorms at around 8:30 and waited outside Gleason's Bus stop. I was annoyed that the schedule said the stop was at Grace Watson so we decided to take a quick look if anybody was there. We turned the cornver to find a bus waiting in front of the doors. Thank god for intiution.

It shows that nobody lives in Rochester as there were no lines. While checking in, the AA agent had trouble finding my flight number. When I gave her the Expedia receipt, she was surprised I had the 2:30 flight. She asked if I wanted to take the 11:15 plane. I had to quickly call my parents to make sure that they can pick me up. Apparently, she expected that I would accept it as she gave me the ticket right away. We promptly went to get my luggage checked for biological agents. A couple after me commented that there was no lines. I responded that they were in the wrong city - they should be in Chicago. I think everybody got a laugh from that.

I tried doing my calc homework and thought I would have some breakfast from McDonalds before I went through security. Carl and I tried to past the time by trying to decide whether the building we saw outside the windo are the RIT dorms. Conclusion: No.

I was surprised to see the sign on the gate said "Fantasy Flight" departing at 9:45. At around 11 when we were supposed to board at 10:45, the plane arrived with all these children, clowns, and Santa Claus. I would find out later that the group was taken around Niagra Fall and they were trying to chase Santa. They were going to spend the rest of the day with him.

Plane: Embraier 145? This has to be the first plane where I had trouble getting in. They were asking everyone who was carrying large carry-ons to leave it by the gate because the cabin was so small. Well, at least all the seat were leather and were pretty comfortable. It was weird sitting at the same level as people standing up on the ground. This fact came to play when we were landing. The plane didn't use any spoilers at all. The pilot simply used the wheel brakes the moment we touched down.

Funniest Line of the day : Stewardess, please prepare the cabin for landing... I mean take-off!

It is nice to be home, although I have to deal with my brothers again. Today, Dylan, Geoff, and I are going to watch ROTK. I hope it will take some of the edge off :-).
