How You Life Your Life

You seem to be straight forward, but you keep a lot inside. You’re laid back and chill, but sometimes you care too much about what others think. You tend to have one best friend you hang with, as opposed to many aquaintences. You tend to dream big, but you worry that your dreams aren’t attainable.

its kinda scairy how accurate these things can be sometimes…..

Yes, I am back home.  And frankly that was quite an ordeal.  It was at the point when all you can do is laugh.  and laugh.  and then laugh somemore.  cause if you dont your head will explode with all the worrying.

Let me explain…  i was due to leave sendai on tueday at 345, and arrive in naraita an hour later.  The plane from narita to brisbane was at 945ish, and arrive in brisbane at 715 in the morning.  what actually happened?  Typhoon…  serious.  but let me give you a blow by blow description of the day….

woke up after about 3 or 4 hours sleep.  Said goodbye to ppl, finished packing.  took all my bags downstairs, and was waiting around 1 for Kumagai-sensei.  40 minutes later he still hadnt arrived….  at 2 he finally turned up.  He had left is mobile and map at his office, and was lost……  By then it was raining constantly.  He had heard on the radio that the flight was cancelled.  So, he rang the airport and they confirmed.  And then we still had to go to the airport to cancel the ticket, and at that time the plan was to get a refund and put me on the shinkansen. 

about 20 minutes into the drive to the airport, it was decided that we should actually ring the travel agency it was booked through.  So we did, and they said we dont have to go to the airport, but just to go to their office.  By now it was around 240.  if I wanted to get on the shinkansen i needed to do it by 4.  (2 hours to get to tokyo, and then 1 hour to get to the airport).  We looked for the office, but we couldnt find it…  so we pulled over and asked for directions.  By the time we got there, it was 345…….  (it only takes about 30 minutes to get into town from the dormitory….)

still raining.  I was left in the lobby of the hotel next to the office.  I was supposed to meet ppl at the airport, but i wasnt going now, so they met me there.  Finally about 430 Kumagai sensei came back.  I was weightlisted for wednesday, so we all dedided to go back to the uni, before having dinner. 

Dinner was acutally a very nice affair, and while we were driving to the bar, the worst of the typhoon hit.  dont think i have ever seen that much rain falling so heavily….  that was about 6ish. about 11 we finished, and the rain had stopped!  very surprising!  I stayed at a friends apartment over night.  (3 ppl, tiny place on the floor… very very intresting… about 3 hours sleep again)

Wednesday, made my way back to uni, and we confirmed i was on the flight that afternoon.  So we left for the airport about 130, arrived at 230 and I was on my way finally!

When i arrived in Narita, i was informed that ‘unfortunatley’ they had overbooked ecomony class, and I will be placed in business class.  damn shame that…   so the flight was comfortable and I got about 3 hours sleep again.  Brisbane airport was busy…..

made it home about 8ish, and proceeded to unpack, then it was into uni for a physics society meeting and too speak to lecturers and confim my course…

so, by the time i went to bed last night i was very very tired….

oh, dr phil is on…..

man its been an intresting week.  but very very glad to be back home!
