The plane ride is going much better than I expected it to. Probably because I was so tired from the entire day of getting across the U.S. that I slept for ten hours on the plane. Which is kind of awesome. Only got woken up once by a crying baby and I totally forgot to use the earplugs grammie and papa got me until right now. I might try and sleep more but I doubt that will come. I feel pretty good right now. Kind of foolish because I think I bought too much food at the airport because I didn’t know how much they’d feed us, and I can’t bring food into Australia so I’m stuffing my face with trail mix.
I actually have no idea how long I slept. But I know that it’s 2:52am in Sydney right now, and we’re supposed to get there around 7am I think so for a 14 and a half hour flight that’s not too shabby sleep wise. I’m sure it won’t be as easy coming back, seeing as how I’ll be flying during the day. I probably will end up pulling an all nighter my last night in Sydney but that’s four months from now so I’ll think about that when it comes.
When I was figuring out the seats on this leg of the flight, my friend McColl (who is a Bio major at IC too) told me to sit next to her, so I’m in seat 60H, the very last seat in the back corner of the plane. It’s kind of nice actually because there isn’t as much noise (except for the turbines which you get used to) and it’s only a two seat row. But McColl never showed. Which is a total bummer but I thought this might happen, she told me her flights only had like two 40 minute layovers which would definitely get you in trouble if there was the slightest problem. So I’ve got two seats to myself, which for sleeping I’m not complaining about, but it is a little lonely.
I don’t think I’ll have a problem with jetlag but you never know. I’ll be posting this when I get to Australia since there’s no internet (or outlets) on the plane. But for now, four hours to go.
