it wasn’t the distance this time that was hard, just the fact that i was leaving. normally the one that stays behind has a harder time saying goodbye, but i really struggled yesterday.

got to the airport, got some tax free goods. just a mascara and a new perfume. necessities really then as soon as i got on the plane the captain said we’d have to wait an hour and a half! in the freaking heat. noooo thank you. luckily enough they got it down to 20 minutes.

an hour into the flight i’d finished my book and was quite restless. ended up watching ‘i love you, philip morris’ terrible movie.

landed. went through the usual. passport control. baggage claim. top up oyster card. sit on tube for an hour and a half..

felt so alone. but then i got in and realized that mostly everyone’s back. so i chilled with alex and irish for a bit

sat in the airport waiting.

whoever made the two hours before your flight rule clearly never travels. it’s really a waste of time and just drags out the whole journey even more.

oh well one more hour. then the flight’s like 3 hours i think? so excited to just get there!!

sat on the train towards Simon’s now. been playing around with my photobooth on the computer. feels quite nice actually to be going, even though i had a night of restless sleep. time went so slow as well. 130. 200. 215. 245. 3. 330. 335. 345. 4. and so on. got fed up around 550 and decided to get up. anyways im on my way now and will most likely sleep for the duration of this journey.
