“There’s no reason to become alarmed, and we hope you enjoy the rest of your flight. By the way, is there anyone on board who knows how to fly a plane?”
-Elaine Dickenson, Airplane!
After my last blog entry, my flight itinerary got a little adjusted. Our plane was to land in Minneapolis, but due to a snowstorm in the midwest, our plane was diverted to Fargo, ND. Since we didn’t know when our plane would be able to take off, we were released to roam throughout the tiny Fargo airport. I spent a few minutes exploring the local goods section of the gift shop (intrigued by the bison jerky and Native American themed teas), before retiring to the one café to sit and wait with various angry passengers from my flight (the ones who were supposed to be headed to Hawaii were especially sad). Luckily, within an hour, the ground freeze at MSP was lifted, and we were back on our way to MSP.
After the brief stop in Minneapolis, we were on our way to my fourth and final state of the day, Utah. Most of this flight was spent sleeping, hence why you’re not receiving this update until two days later. It was already dark in Salt Lake City when were land, and I was exhausted by the time I got to Park City. After running a few quick errands to pick up some essentials, I finally made it to my apartment around 8pm (or 10pm Eastern time). My roommate was out for the night, so Rex, her incredibly sweet black lab, greeted me. After quickly assembling a bed, I was out for the night.
Most of yesterday was spent unpacking and organizing my room. I begin work on Wednesday, so I’ll spend today and tomorrow working on an article (most of you know I write for a film site, so that should make sense), and figuring out how long the bus ride is to the institute, so I can figure out how early I have to get up for my commute (it’s really not far, and if I was adventurous, I could walk it in under an hour- I just don’t want to be late). It’s snowing now, and cabin fever is creeping up, so I think I’ll walk down to one of the coffee shops on Main Street (I live in the very cool Historic District), and do my work there.
I’ll probably write my next post near the weekend, after I get my feet wet at my new job. Bye for now!
