[Day 94] Still Here!

Remember that time I was supposed to leave London on Dec 19 at 12pm? I'm still here!

Yesterday I said what I thought would be my final goodbyes to everyone. Erin and Hannah had left for the airport around 10am and I packed for a lot of the day. Kate and I ate two whole boxes of Toy Story mac and cheese for lunch. Around 4, Peter, Sammie and I took the bus to UCL and Sammie and I returned our books to the Senate House Library. It was snowing for a lot of the day and everything looked sooo pretty so I took a lot of pictures. There was a movie being shot in the Senate House Library and I stood there and watched until Sammie dragged me out. We took the tube back and found out that Hannah and Erin's flights had been canceled due to snow. We were all really confused because it had stopped snowing around 2 and there really wasn't even that much snow, maybe three inches. Anyway they had to come the whole way back and reschedule their flights. Erin is leaving on Tuesday and Hannah is leaving Wednesday.

We all wanted to go somewhere nice for dinner, but we waited for Erin and Hannah to get back and me, Kate, Erin, Sammie, Kirit, Vijay and Vivek went to Golden Fryer for dinner. Ew and I tried filalfel, it was gross. After that we went back to Flat 4 for a while and hung out. Around 1:30 I checked the status of my flight out of Heathrow, just as an after thought, and there it was: canceled. 

I called my mom and then called the airline to reschedule. Originally the only flight they could get me on was a 12pm one out of Heathrow on Christmas Eve! I wouldn't have gotten home until 8pm and that would have ruined Christmas Eve for sure. I scheduled that flight and called my mom back. Luckily she find another one for Thursday afternoon out of Gatwick airport. 

I haven't done much today. Sammie's flight to India was canceled too and I hung out in Flat 4 and hung out in my flat. Basically the only people left here are Americans who were stranded. In a little while me, Kate, Vijay, Sammie, Vivek and Hannah are going to Wetherspoon's for dinner.
