A Very Long Day

I'm here in Spain, and it is wonderful! But first let's recount this very long day in a game I like to call "Good News, Bad News."
   good news: It is early in the morning, but I have all of my stuff packed and I'm ready to go.
   bad news: Because of some snowy roads and cautious driving we are a little late getting to the airport.
   good news: It didn't matter that we were late because the flight was canceled.
   bad news: My flight was canceled.
   good news: Through the diligent work of a very lovely old airport worker, we find another route through Vegas that still gets me on the same flight to Spain.
   bad news: He had no record that I had paid for my ticket.
   good news: Through some more diligent work on our behalf, the lovely airport worker tracked down a travel agent and was able to work out the ticket issue, and once again I'm on my way.
   bad news: Just as I go through security my body decides it's cool to feel wretched.
   good news: The color of throw-up really accentuates everything I'm wearing, and I got to use the words, "tossed my cookies," all day.
   bad news: I prefer to keep my cookies.
   good news: The entire TCU basketball team was on one of my flights.
   bad news: I will most likely be remembered by them as that pukey girl.
   good news: Though some of the planes were slightly delayed, and my layovers were tight, I made it successfully onto all of my flights.
   bad news: Ginger ale also accentuates my clothing.
   good news: You find kind people everywhere you go. I would like to use this moment to thank purple-striped eye-shadow lady in Vegas, red-haired flight attendant, southern accent flight attendant, all of the girls in my study abroad group I flew in with, especially Lexi (sorry about the ginger ale), and anyone who had to sit in my general proximity in the last day and a half. Thank you.
   bad news: It was a very very long day.
   good news: The bad news is temporary, and the good news is the only stuff that matters anyway.
   bad news: I have successfully wrapped up this post in a schmalzy Hallmark original movie sort of way. Okay, okay, that's just good news.

Thanks for all of your prayers. I really like it here, and will tell you more of all the cool things later.
