So it begins! After a frantic morning where I misread the meeting time from 5:30 to 6:30am and finally getting to the airport at 6:06am exactly, we got on the plane to Calgary. I got to say good bye to Vancouver (adieu til next month!) and sent a text to Anthony ( and Pete).

After only 2 hours of sleep last night, I drifted between awake and dream state during the flight until we landed 1 hr later. By then I was regretting the fact that I left my headphones, my laptop and my Chapstick in my giant backpack up above not to mention that I was nauseous from lack of sleep, lack of food, lack of head room and
airsickness in general.

Calgary airport was a little bit older and mustier than Vancouver but I found my Tim Hortons although I was amused to find that Timmy's elsewhere was just as rude :). Nice. Didn't spoil my mood though: I am going to Rome!

We waited for around 2 hours for our flight to Toronto. Played around with all the web technologies that I downloaded to keep in touch with Anthony. The connection was bad but we made it work. After some food, the nauseousness was gone but an headache was underneath that. I started to pile on the drugs. Took a decongestant pill ( from the cold that I forced to disappear a week before for final assignments), a gravel on the plane and I was going to take some more tynonal when Sam stopped me. I should mentioned that by that time I couldn't stop raving over everything our flight attendant was saying to us (omigosh, she's so pretty. Omigosh she's soooooo nice. Omigosh she has cup noodles!). I think that came from the combo of ice Capp + drugs.

Trying not to procrastinate on my upcoming paper but obviously not working :). I love you all and everybody at this moment. Like, peace y'all.
