I am just now waking up and it is 6am! I have a few errands to run before I leave this afternoon; those of which include getting a haircut and going to a doctor\u2019s appointment (fun right?) My plan is to be back home before noon that way I can just shower and ill be ready to leave (mind you I am never on time). Oh yea btw my flight is scheduled to depart at 3:20pm.<\/p>\n<p>Okay so it&#8217;s currently 11:41am and everything I needed to do this morning surprisingly got done. Now I have to race against the clock in order to get ready before my mother gets home and starts to nag me for not being ready (Trust me when I say you do not want to hear this woman nag).<\/p>\n<p>12:32pm, I\u2019m currently in the car on the way to the airport. Even though I thought I had everything I needed and that I wasn\u2019t leaving anything behind, I was wrong. Before we finally left the house I had to go back up and down the stairs about four times in an effort to retrieve the few things that had slipped my mind.<\/p>\n<p>So it turns out both of my bags were overweight; \u201cpack lightly they said\u201d. Oh well it didn\u2019t matter because my mother tipped the guy and he let is slide (thanks mom).<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m finally at my departure gate but my flight is currently being delayed until any three people decide to give up their seats on the plane in exchange for a later flight and a $800 voucher. The reason being? The airline over sold their seats. Good thing I chose the two-hour layover in Atlanta as opposed to the 50min one.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.rollins.edu\/letters\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/thumbnail_FullSizeRender-1-225x300.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-16293 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.rollins.edu\/letters\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/thumbnail_FullSizeRender-1-225x300-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>P.S.
