This is it
Apr. 12th, 2006 02:35 amI rarely sleep at all the night before a long trip, I prefer to be fairly beat and get some shut-eye time on the plane if I can.
So I start wednesday early day and I arrive in Sweden thursday morning. I hope I make the overlap in Newark N.Y. an hour and 15 minutes is the shortest time I've ever had for changing planes.
My professor emailed me yesterday with some positive words on my work (he's seen some parts of it), but he also said that the time for the oral exam/evaluation is early May at the earliest, so I guess I'll have to stay for as long as it takes.
First I'm having easter with my folks in the south of Sweden (Malmö) and then Uppsala here I come.
Unless my plane crashes. I had some mild freak out time again in the wee hours of the night which made me feel like I'm becoming quite the basket case.
And then I had to call Morten and ask if he/they had Nordstedt's big English/swedish, swedish/english dictionaries, because my abs would burst if I'd have to carry mine over the ocean.
So I told Morten that if anything would happen to me, he would have to take care of matters, see to it that my thesis gets printed, comfort the Geek and my parents...
It's good to be mocked in the middle of the night by a sarcastic ex, the echo of his smirking is still comforting me. I think Magda, his much sweeter girlfriend was kicking him in the background when he was at his worst with the sarcasms on the expense of my death angst.
For the record - Morten is my almost-like-a-brother ex with the nice girlfriend.
I'm going on a plane, with no malfunctions
or terrorists
or laptops with theses burning & frying
no food poisoning
or heart attacks
or flesh eating bacteria.
Or important papers stolen or shredded
or bastards in customs domineering me
Just nice and quiet and smooth going, the zen of all traveling, please.
Have a good couple of days y'all, in Sweden Easter is a bigger deal than in the States. For the kids it's like spring break, which means a week off from school, and for a lot of other people it's a 3-4 day holiday.
Dammit, I'm all packed, and I'm not bringing the dictionaries.
