When Going to Beantown

So, there's the heart symbol that lets us use shorthand for love. I (heart) Oregon, for example. But what about hate? There's no real shorthand symbol for that, right? But what about the dagger †? For example, I † United. Why is that, you ask? Perhaps it is because after my three hour delay and cancellation when I went to Portland, they delayed my flight to Boston by 2 hours. I checked for delays before I left, and there were none. When I checked in, they said there was a half hour delay. When I got through the 9 miles of lines for the security, they delayed it by 1 and a half hours. By the time we actually left, it was a 2 hour delay. I was supposed to get into Boston around 6, and instead ended up getting off the plane at 8:45. By the time I navigated through the messed up streets of Boston, I got to my room shorty after 10. So much for a leisurely dinner and evening of study.

Anyway, the Connect Training course is going to start soon, so I will go. Oh, and to put icing on the cake, the class, which we were told started at 7:30, actually isn't starting until 9, meaning that I didn't have to get up at 5 in the freaking morning today after all. :(

Perhaps it should be "I (club) United."

I personally (club) packing and getting a cold in the middle of July.

You perhaps might want to think about not travelling anywhere from now on.
