i am happy to report that i (and my luggage) made it back to san diego perfectly and in one piece. made my connection at lax just fine, picked up my luggage in san diego like i was supposed to, and caught the shuttle back to ucsd JUST in time. thought i was going to have to wait for the 100 pm shuttle, but the 1130 shuttle was early and waited for a little bit. :) so basically, i had a perfect flight. no delays and went off without a hitch. pretty good, considering that practically everyone was going home today after thanksgiving break. fell asleep on both planes, though i fell asleep longer on the flight to la. got back to my apartment around 1230. sanaz was already here and allyn was over visiting. you KNOW you've overpacked when you can't carry your own suitcase and you have to have other people help you. the shuttle driver had to help me get the suitcase onto the shuttle and this other guy had to help me get the suitcase off the shuttle. i was dropped off at the warren shuttle stop so i had to wheel my suitcase all the way back to the matthews apartments where allyn and sanaz carried the suitcase up the stairs into the apartment. i know, i know, i'm stupid, thanksgiving break was only three days long, but you see, i'm a just-in-case kind of girl. i bring tons of clothes home, just. in. case. anyway, got back, called my parents to tell them i was okay, unpacked, took a shower, ate a sandwich, watched some tv, and now i'm working on my italian homework. have to translate a chapter of the book we're reading. it's going very very slowly and i'm getting very very sleepy. remember, i woke up at 5 am. uuugh.. okay, time to stop blogging and go back to homework.

soooo sleeeeepy....
