The Trek to Provo

So this day started off pretty good. I got up and finished packing, then I got to go to Sacrament Meeting at church, which was lovely. I got to say goodbye to many people and see friends one last time before the cold months ahead of me. Then I changed and headed to LAX. We listened to some Strauss on the trip over which, by the way, was traffic-less. However, once I arrived at LAX and saw the long line of people waiting outside, I knew this day had taken a turn. I looked around and found the right line, then proceeded to wait in the sun for about 45 minutes at which point they tagged and took my brand new luggage and I headed off to security. At this point, my flight was leaving in another 45 minutes, and I was starting to get worried, especially when they herded us to some random security checkpoint. I rushed through and made it just in time to wait in my boarding line for aobut 3 minutes and then got in, and got my seat.

For the longest time, nobody sat next to me, which was very happy because after standing in the sun for so long, I was not smelling as nice as I would have liked. We had to wait for some transfer passengers and I got to sit next to a cute little girl who was unaccompanied. We got to SLC on time, even though we left the terminal 20 minutes late. Then I trundled down to the baggage claim, stopping only to buy a granola bar so I had change to tip the shuttle driver. Then i proceeded to wait, and wait, and then everyone had their baggage and was leaving.

"What?" I thought to myself. Of course it would be just my luck that someone would take my brand new luggage that I love oh so much. But I held out hope because there were a few other confused looking passengers who I remembered from the flight. We went to the baggage office where they told us that our luggage had probably been put on the next flight and that they would take it out to us when it came in. I gave the lady my info and asked when the bags would come in. My options consisted of it making it to provo around 4am, or 2pm the next day, and that is considering that it made it on the flight she assumed they put it on.

Luckily, I have everything I need here at my dorm with the exception of a toothbrush, hairbrush and products, and my good make up (I have some random stuff here, but not my everyday make up, its my stage make up and discarded other items). I think I'm just going to wake up for the 4am delivery if it makes the flight.

Also, I would just like to say that I delt with this while fasting and with cramps.
