Well today is the first day of our excursion over the pond. Our flight was due to leave at 9:15 p.m., which it did, with a few hiccups along the way. After getting to O’Hare three hours early I met up with everyone and we proceeded to our gate. I had noticed previously that I was the only one with out an assigned seat. I later come to find out that United overbooked by 16 people and I just happened to be one of them (may I add, the only one in our group!). I started stressing but assumed it would turn out alright. Then a United lady came up to me and told me I wasn’t getting a seat so she was going to book me a hotel so I could get a flight the next morning. She was very short with me and made it seem as though it was my fault about the whole situation. Thusly I began crying, on my birthday.
Luckily Steve (our professor) came to the rescue and after some convincing talking plus my tears, I ended up with a seat. The plane ride was rather uneventful; I did manage to get about an hour’s sleep though. The best part was flying in directly over London where I was able to see everything from the sky (London Eye, Big Ben, Parliament, etc.)!
