Hello West Coast!
May. 12th, 2025 10:02 pmThat's right, I'm officially on the coast of the Pacific Ocean! Or the Specific Ocean, as I called it amidst giggles. (Seriously, isn't that funny?) The plane went really well--it was my first plane ride too! Take-off was a little freaky but that was it. Although next up we have a thirteen-hour plane ride, which I'm kind of dreading. But I'll probably be sleeping for most if it anyway. It's about midnight back in Missouri time and I didn't sleep the best last night, which means I'm tired, which means I'm loopy. Some people get drunk, I get tired. I've also been speaking in French/a French accent, because as I told my mum, the more tired I get the more French I get.
Anyways, this California airport is boujee as heck!! There's a fast food chain, a yoga room, and more! I mean, not to sound like an ad, but still. This is basically a mall that airplanes just so happen to take off from!
Because of time zone weirdness, I don't think we'll be eating "dinner" until some ungodly hour of the night (the flight from Missouri to California, even though it was exactly during dinner hours, was only four hours so we didn't get a meal) so I think I might go get a snacky snack now, or at least walk around since soon I'll be deprived of that luxury for half a day. I think I'll be sleeping a lot on the plane though, at least! Apparently when we actually get to Korea it'll be about 5:00 AM their time, but we'll be spending most of a day on there so I should get some good sleep, and anyhow I can also sleep on the bus ride to the suburb we'll be staying in.
The flip phone is still working well!
Okay, well I'm about to go walk around and maybe grab a bite, and definitely watch YouTube and crap. I'm so tired and loopy! And bored. Or something. I watched The Mindy Project on the plane for the first time, and it was pretty funny. I also watched a James Acaster special, and I have to say I think he was funnier on Taskmaster. I mean, the special didn't really feel like a whole special, more like a random chat you have with your friends that's going nowhere. But I digress. I also watched the first episode of the Big Bang Theory and it was alright, I guess. Penny's outfits were cute. Some of the jokes were a bit yikes though. Okay, NOW I'm gonna go walk and stuff. Toodles! See you in KOREA!!!!!
P.S. this guy on the intercom just joked "if you don't have a smartphone... get a smartphone". This feels targeted at me!!
P.P.S. potential k-drama-esque romance story. More to come later when i'm coherent.
