I think I might become a fan of Continental Airlines if all their flights are like the one I'm on right now. Of course it's coincidence that the first row seats were miraculously empty and so I was able to remove myself to one of them and get an extravagant amount of leg space. The second thing was the fact that they served food which is a kindness I have experienced for the first time on a US Domestic flight. I understand that I probably paid for the food somewhere in the price of the ticket, but then it was also a risk on Continental's part because if I go to kayak.com or something and look for flights, Continental has had to take the risk that some other airline's flight might be cheaper because they don't serve meals. Or, well, something like that at any rate.
All right, this is happening way too much. I'm on my way to New York yet again! Well, it didn't come as a surprise; I knew when I went in March that I'd be coming back in May for a couple of days for my brother's graduation. It should hopefully be a fun-filled family reunion as my parents shall also be in NYC for the big event.
Amongst (sounds so much better than 'among') other things, I will be switching computers yet again when I go to New York and I will have my beloved dual-battery PowerBook G4 back which was previously in the care of my beloved papa. He will, in turn, get his MacBook Pro back, with which I have spent the last five-ish months. He will also be getting his new digital camera as his old one broke and Canon allowed me to upgrade to this really cool seven-megapixel thing for about $200.
Oh and the pilot just announced that we're going to be landing in 30 minutes, which is sad because I was just starting to enjoy this flight. Such nice air hostesses (no stewards on this flight for some reason) there are here, who've been asking on the hour every hour whether we want any drinks or anything. I think I lost track of the time due to the time difference, and so this flight was actually only five hours long even though I was actually prepared for something like eight hours. Silly me.
Meanwhile, I think there are plans of going to Yosemite National Park next weekend, which, if I go by the time I had last year, should be extraordinary amounts of fun. I think last year I trekked about ten or eleven miles, but this year I'm going to go with this more hardcore group, so it'll be more like eighteen miles. Don't know whether we're going to go to Half-Dome or Clouds' Rest, but I think those are the two options on the board.
I will also be done with midterm exams once I take the second physics midterm on Thursday (later than everyone else who's taking it on Monday). That will be a relief. Of course, short-lived relief because finals will be in the second week of June. Also, I have to start making this website for my "Program in Writing and Rhetoric" class. I think I might do that now in the remaining twenty or so minutes of this flight. iWeb sounds like the software I need because I can't afford to spend too much time on this website.
