PhuturePriest Posted July 3, 2015 Author Share Posted July 3, 2015 Ah, adventure: it is an unpredictable and exciting mistress. My flight was cancelled and rescheduled for 3:41. As I'm a very laid-back person I didn't really care, but Michael Voris wanted me to demand that I get an earlier flight with another airline.

Amppax Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 I'm surprised that they have you going up before the 4th, it would seem to make more sense to me to have you come up after the holiday weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash Wednesday Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Miles, What you are feeling reminds me of two things: when I first left America to study in London, and when I left America the second time and finally arrived to get married and live in the UK. When I first came to my residence hall, it was located right next to an Underground station near the heart of London. It was loud, felt dangerous, gritty, and I felt like some country girl straight off the turnip truck. Probably more diversity I'd seen within a span of minutes than what I'd seen in years, including some big black dude preaching and yelling "REPENT, THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS AT HAND!!!!" It was late at night and I had no bedding and no way of purchasing any because the stores were all closed. I had to sleep on a bare bed. I literally took the curtain and used it as a blanket. And when I came to the UK permanently I just sat in my room and I realized I had actually left my country behind, and everything familiar to me, and unlike studying, I realized that THIS was permanent. And I thought "WHAT HAVE I DONE?" This was clearly something that is meant to be in your life's path, so I can understand the feelings of terror and excitement at the same time. But trust that whatever happens will be for the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
