Onward! to Rochester!
That's right! Finals are done and it's time to do what we do every year: sit and rot for hours and hours of layovers in unfamiliar aiports while everyone around you has the "Christmas Spirit" (read: hates everyone, including their own mothers) because the person in front of them is too slow, the person behind them is too loud and the plane is way too uncomfortable. Yay for the holidays! In all reality our plane rides and absurd layover weren't that bad. We left Monday morning at not too early of an hour (Christian: "What!? Not too early!? Stupid.) which means seven in the morning. We drove up to Grandma and Grandpa Cragun's house and met Matthew and Nicole to be chauffered up to the airport.
From here on out, instead of going for a play by play I'm going to go the randoms musings route:
Fact - Flying in turbulence feels like being on a rickety rollercoaster and is way fun.
Fact - Empty planes are amazing because you can stretch out.
Lie - Planes are comfortable if you stretch out.
Fact - Janitors can look cool if they stand in front of big windows for artsy pictures as seen below.
Fact - The coolest food trays ever made include compartments for different foods and should be used as much as possible.Fact - Pepper does not belong on pasta.
Fact - Denver has artistic and good-smelling bathrooms.
Fact - Black people have soul. They're just better at things like piano and flute.Lie - White people can have soul. Sorry, just not possible.
Fact - Chris Beach and Ali SoonToBeBeach are wonderful people.
Lie - Chris Beach is Tall (Ha! Gotcha!)
Lie - The only band who can make a flute sound cool is Jethro Tull.
Fact - When someone yells "we have an emergency! Where's a doctor!?" in the middle of your flight, it is quite scary.
Fact - Teachers who talk the entire flight about how much they really don't like teaching and don't teach their kids important principles like "Responsibility" and who think that it's not important anyways should be thrown out of the airplane. Or at least publicly caned.
Fact - The minneapolis airport has THE coolest hand dryers ever.
Lie - Christian has died which is why he no longer posts on the blog.
Fact - Christain and I made it home alive despite icy roads and runways.
Fact - Christmas is going to be very Merry!
So that is the jist of our plane flying experience and five hour layover. Christian has made a goal to post on the blog sometime before he graduates from college (10 years hence), and I support that. In the mean time, we wish everyone a very merry Christmas eve and Christmas day and Day after Christmas and so on.
