The downside of being in an Airport by yourself...

...is that you have no one to sit with your stuff so you can go to Powells! I am an avid rule follower. I even follow the guidelines. I would probably make a terrible pirate (don't tell my littles.) So when the website very specifically said arrive 3 hours before departure that is exactly what I did. The wonders of the Portland airport (beside the fact that they have the nicest TSA workers I have ever encountered) is that you can make it through security pretty swiftly, even with a line. So now I have an hour and a half before boarding begins and I'm at my gate. I even stopped to get Starbucks on the way (a delicious blended chai latte and coffee cake if you were wondering (oh, you weren't? Well bonus information for you then.)) So I decided to make a blog, frankly because I told people I would. I, however, cannot make any promises about the frequency with which I will update said blog. I would so much rather sit down and write letters to each specific person that I have tracked down the address for. Its not that I don't like writing a blog, I do, I can rock the one-sided ramblings like nobody's business. I just get so busy and caught up in everything that I feel like I never have enough time to commit to a good solid blog post. I think the problem is the main example that I have for blogging is long posts and so I feel like if its too short its not solid enough to print (and of course by print I really mean post on a blog.) Hopefully I'll post again when I get to Keele, probably after I've unpacked because based on when I moved in Freshman year, I can unpack pretty fast once I decide where I want everything to go. The downside is that post will actually come up tomorrow because I'm spending basically a day (when you factor in time change) on a plane. I'm just hoping I'll have enough to do. Maybe I'll draft another post while I'm on the plane. That would be something to do.
