I am sitting at Logan Airport outside Terminal B10. I have just been kicked off the plane for screaming obscenities at the flight attendants.
Haha, just joking. I would never have the guts to do that. Actually what happened was, there was an electrical problem on the plane and they needed to shut off power and reboot or something. And to do this, they apparently cannot have passengers onboard. Don't even ask me. I am just savoring the last 10 minutes of warmth before I am put onto that over-air-conditioned plane, even if it means sitting and blogging in this decrepit godforsaken excuse of an airport.
...2 hours later....
AH! So the plane has decided that it will not take off before 9 o clock, which means I will certainly miss my connecting flight to State College, which means I will not be leaving today. My flight is going to be at 2:30 tomorrow. What do you want me to say. I dared to think that the weather was nice, so maybe I would have a decent journey. And maybe for the first time, I would actually be there for the first day of classes. But when it is not raining or hailing or snowing, something else obviously has to go wrong, i.e. electrical problems on the airplane. WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN TO ME EVERY TIME...
But honestly though, I am quite sad that we're at the end. For the past week, I've just been holding my breath for Penn State and itching for college to start again. But as I sat in Logan airport waiting for my stupid plane to get ready, the homesickness came crashing down on me. It's been a long summer vacation and I think I've gotten to accustomed to the free life. But three and a half months of summer is starting to feel inadequate. Well, I get to sleep in my own bed for one more night. Yay.
ERLACK What's wrong with me? I should be excited to go to my second (and final) year of college. MCATs are over, as are most of my premed requirements. I get to take cool classes like Hindu philosophy, A Survey of Indian History, Astronomy, and Hip Hop Dance. So what's my problem? I'll tell you once I figure that out.
Anyway, I am planning to write a novel about all the horrible air travel experiences I have had. Please read it and be glad that you are not me.

Why does this happen to you every time? Because if you didn't arrive late at the beginning of a new semester, you wouldn't be Sowmya. Duh.
Also, I was reading a short story by Jhumpa Lahiri last night that mentioned Logan but did not mention that it was an airport. Thanks to your post, I now get it.
See you soon (if the airline gods stop hating you, that is!)
