Airplane attire is the best...NOT.

Day #8

9:15am

Plane numero uno!

So, I'm real sorry folks, but I'm looking top notch ratchet today. Or at least I am at the moment. I had to wake up at 4:30am to make it to the Des Moines airport for my flight at 6:15am. Talk about brutal! I'm gonna be in recovery from this for a while...lol  But really though. I only two hours of sleep last night, because I'm "super intelligent," which means dumb as eff, and thought it would be a great plan. My thinking was that since Gage is going to be in class all day when I arrive in Charleston, I'll make myself tired enough to take a nap for a few hours to help pass time, and I was partially hoping I would be able to sleep on the plane as well. My first flight only ended up lasting for forty-five minutes, however, so I didn't get to rest at all. My flight from Des Moines to Midway International in Chicago went really smooth, which is awesome! I just read my new Cosmo magazine and listened to my iPod. Before I knew it, the flight attendants were telling us to put our things away and fasten our seat belts because we were getting ready to land. Craziness! lol  We managed to be ahead of schedule (because we're flippin' awesome like that) so I arrived half an hour early to Chicago. I know it doesn't sound all that bad, but I already had a two hour long wait anyways, so that just made my dreaded wait that much longer. Yuck. :P The flight is scheduled to take off at 9:50, putting me at 12:45pm arriving in Charleston. It seems like a long flight, but Charleston is a timezone ahead so subtract an hour from the plane ride and it's only about two hours of flying. I could get a great nap in! Whoo! :) lol

I'm supes tired right now, but I don't look as bad as I did when I first woke up! I went to the airport in my pjs, which consisted of a Hanes tie-dye v-neck, made courtesy of my little sister, and black Champion athletic shorts that I got at Target. I paired this "dazzling" outfit with some black Old Navy flip flops and my gray ADPi crest half-zip jacket. I was obviously going for a more comfortable look :P lol  Some of these crazy tricks here in the airport are wearing frickin' heels and dresses, with their hair all done up and jewelry on. They be trippin' fo who! lol  But really though, who dresses up for an early flight, where they get to sit on a plane for hours??? Like really. Enough with my ranting, and back to my "hot look!" I did stop in the bathroom, before heading to my boarding station, or whatever its called, to put my contact in, put my hair up into a somewhat decent-looking bun, and to put a little makeup on. Now I don't look quite so dead looking and nasty! Thank God. It's not like I'm trying to impress anyone, but I just don't like feeling all poopy because I know I don't look at least one little bit attractive. It's a personal problem. :P lol

After fixing myself in the bathroom for plane numero dos!

6:00pm
I made it safe and sound to Charleston, FINALLY! I'm super stoked to be here :)  I ended up taking a taxi back to my hotel, got all checked in, and was finally able to relax! I took a nice shower, and then took a little cat nap. I would have kept sleeping but there was a loud knock on the door that woke me up. Guess who it was? GAGE :))))  I was still a little out of it, but I knew it was him and I was super jazzed to see him! We were only able to be together for like thirty minutes, since he had to get back to base to do some study hours, but it's certainly better than nothing, and, I get to see him in less than an hour! I think the plan is to go somewhere for dinner and then just have a chill night and watch a movie or something. It's still so weird that I'm here and with him...but definitely a good weird! :)

Right now, since I'm just hanging out in my hotel room, I'm rocking shorts and a t-shirt like I was earlier. It's not an exciting outfit at all so I'm not gonna bother with showing y'all a picture or describing it :P lol  I'm gonna go ahead and sign off for the night now, since I plan on dedicating all of my time tonight to Gage. As much as I love blogging, my boyfriend that I never get to see is much more important (sorry Charlie)! Have a wonderful night!
