Atlanta airport is a joke. I was supposed to leave at 9:45pm. LaGuardia wasn’t letting planes land so we got delayed until 10:15pm. Then smoke started filling the cabin (we weren’t in the plane…they announced it at our gate) so they announced that we needed to get a new plane. This is the part that confuses me. They said they were getting a new plane and that they would be announcing the gate soon. It took an hour for them to find the plane and announce the gate. It wasn’t until 12:15am that we finally pulled out of the terminal. Ridiculous. 2 and 1/2 hour delay because they were unable to bring another plane in to fly us out.
Yay for spending the first 3 hours of my Thanksgiving in a plane. Other than that Thanksgiving went splendidly. Holly and I went to the Radio City Christmas Spectacular, which was one of the gappiest things in the world. I’ll describe the gap and its components at some later point (not in this blog). After Radio City we went home and cooked an enjoyable Thanksgiving dinner.
In the spirit of Thanksgiving I suppose it is prudent that I mention the things that I am thankful for. When I left UVa I was a pretty bitter person. I was frustrated with the politics of the University and left with a pretty sour taste in my mouth. Now that I am in South Dakota and thousands of miles away from any of my friends it makes me realize just how much I miss my friends and the little things of Charlottesville.
