I think I was already quite good in the sense that I didn't have to wait long and got my flight sorted out in the end. There was this woman, who had 2 of her flights cancelled/delayed, and she was almost in tears. There was also another guy, who was really pissed with everything (cos apparently he'd been stuck at the airport for 26 hours!!), and basically shouted at the person at the counter, and the person at the counter had to call the cops.
The others' (jessica, mingwei, jiaqi) flight got delayed too cos of ground strike in Newark. Today has really been such an eventful day huh. I really hope I'll have a safe and smooth journey tomorrow.
The whole incident also just reminds me how much I really depend on my friends here. I'm really really lucky to have you guys as friends =) Thanks you for helping me out just now. And for helping me to calm down especially. Haha.
The chorus of this song, Take Me Home Country Roads by John Denver, is just so apt.
Country roads, take me home
To the place i belong
West virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads
I guess home to him is West Virginia. It's really kind of ironic cos I'm supposed to have been in D.C. now, which is actually in Virginia.
Anyway, gonna have supper with my brother after I get home. And then will be watching the Germay-Italy match. After that, sleep hopefully. Though if you consider the time difference, it'll only be 5 or 5.30pm in US. Might as well not sleep haha.
And I really should sleep now. Need to wake up at 3.30am for a 6.20am flight!
