Best ever.
From Tulsa to Chicago it was clear skies and sunshine.
Arrived in the dark windy city 30 minutes early actually.
A short 4 hour layover then it was off to Dublin. Had a whole row to myself on the largest aircraft I've ever been on.
Arrived in the dark windy city a full hour early.
Got through passport security with ease and walked straight up to my bag. The whole thing took 5 minutes start to finish. Unreal.
Then:
She drove all the way from Belfast to lift me, wee pet, on almost no sleep. Gem, that girl is.
When we got into Belfast, we had a super search for parking, then got lunch/killed time before 2
At the cafe, though, I heard my name screamed and Lauren appeared out of nowhere. YES!
Ames and I turned in the hard copy of my thesis (hallelujah chorus) then picked up our regalia (hallelujah chorus) and graduation tickets (which I will give to two strangers and ask them to pose as family).
Then home to the "new me" and old friend at Lakeside (where Matt and I had to break back into because he had accidentally locked himself out. oops)
I had brought him Christmas from his family in Texas, so we opened his presents and chatted until my church mate Megan got here.
She took us for ice cream which turned into bonding all together until 2:30am.
Very long first day. Very best first day.
