Things That Have Actually Gone Right

Subtitle: I May Be Eating Ramen For The Next Seven Months, But At Least I'm Seeing (3/5)MCR Tomorrow!

So, I didn't find my garda card, but I went to get it replaced and I was told I'd have to get in the queue, which would take a good four hours or so (I had two hours) so I mildly panicked. I went to another window and I was like "CRISIS SITUATION!" and the very kind guy was like "Okay, go to window 12 and they'll look after you right away!" and then they printed it within 10 minutes and stole 100 Euro from me and in conclusion, I may be dangerously approaching Broke Student but I have a Garda card.

Phew.

Then, the only thing that has gone TRULY right is that I received my new iPod in the mail today from my daddy! \o/ I wasn't even going to come home before i went to the airport, but I did and IT WAS THERE. It's beautiful and shiny and black and filled with all my bandom music plus a few other albums, and I am so happy, you guys.

Now, I'm so exhausted my head feels like it might explode (even though I got ~6.5 hours of sleep last night!) and I went on another crying jag this morning (to this guy in my European Societies class who's here as an adult student - he's about 40-45, gruff and sarcastic and kind and he just let me cry and calmed me down. I needed that so much) and I can't quite comprehend that I have about 5 hours of traveling ahead of me, but. I think things should work out.

I'm trying so hard not to think "Oh, now MCR's going to cancel!" or "I'm going to miss one of my train connections!" or "I'm going to lose something ELSE!" because I'll drive myself insane.

I want to say thank you to all of you who have put up with my disaster drama over the past few days and encouraged me and left kind comments. It really helps to know that there are people out there who sympathize and are thinking of me. I haven't answered all the comments for reasons that I hope are obvious, but I am very very thankful. And anyone who's listened to me freak out on AIM, well, you get a gold star. You guys rock. *hugs tight*

So I'll probably poke my head in and let you all know I'm alive at some point, but other than that it'll be radio silence from me for three days. Take care, my loves ♥

Safe and sound!

I have arrived safely in London! \o/ I'm currently at jemimamoo's house hanging out with her and erode, and they're both lovely! I caught my bus, plane, and trains with no mishaps, and I even got a nap on the plane. I'm so relieved that everything went smoothly. Now Matilda and I are gonna watch LOTMS and then we're gonna go see MCR for REAL and eeeeeeeeee!

I think the trauma is finally over. THANK GOD.
