Things To Never Do Again #1:
Miss a flight and get stuck for 27 hours in the Dallas airport.

Friday I finished with my first semester at GIAL and headed back to visit my family in Colorado. Due to a series of unfortunate events (although not of the Lemony Snicket sort) I missed the check-in cut off time by 3 minutes. I probably could have just gone through security and still made the flight, but I didn't know that at the time. Twenty-seven hours, one hundred dollars, and four asprin later, I finally got out of the airport system and met my family. At one point I was physically on a plane looking for a seat, when they decided it was overbooked (like every other flight) and pulled me off. I would have been willing to stand for the whole flight if I could have stayed. So here's a tip for you: if you miss a flight during the Christmas season and get put on standby, immediately pay the hundred bucks to get onto the next flight, because they're all overbooked (at least on United) so you will have to pay eventually anyways. Maybe you won't waste as much time as I did. I missed picking my brother up from the Air Force Academy. I did finally make it to Colorado and I got to see my family. Aunts, uncles, parents, brothers, grandparents, are all doing well. They say hi.

I my grandfather who died a month or two ago left me a nice camera, which will be a lot of fun. Its too bad he's not around to show me how to use it.
