Don't Fly Northwest Part II

Sorry it took me so long to write you. I have been stressed with school I found out that my petition for the class that my teacher that gave me a B on my last class has conceeded to give me an A-. I am soooooo mad because I did my work and worked hard and to get anything but an A+ in that class is unacceptable. But baby said that I should get over myself that what is the big deal. At least i get a perfect grading semester. i am still silently seething.

In other news My phone is officially not working. So if you have to call me use the house because my cell phone sucks.

I also spanked a test that I thought I would surely fail. We have an exit exam. After you have been approved for graudation you are to take an exit exam. I thought I would surely fail this but I got a 93 and i totally Bs'd the whole thing. I mean seriously I must be either smart or the teacher is very stupid. Since I think that the former is the case hooray to me.

Okay back to my saga

So on Monday I was scheduled to fly out of Indianapolis after a wonderful weekend with my sisters at 8:40. I got to the airport at 7:50 and the line was mad long. I told the lady at the front desk that my flight left in less than forty minutes and that would it be possible for me to check in early. She was very rude and told me to get in line. That I would make my flight. I knew I was going to miss my flight. So while Menty (my younger sister who lives in Indi) waited in her car in the parking lot I stood in line and watched the clock tick away. Needless to say I missed my flight! What the H?!

I was pissed for three reasons:
1. I had to wake up early (and if you know me I hate getting out of bed) and I missed my flight

2. I had an appointment in with the dean of my department fo 4:00

3. I had a test in one of my classes at 5:00

I just knew I wasn't going to get a flight to make any of my appointments or my first class.

Low and behold the lady at the desk was unapologetic. She said stupid things like "well honey, if you knew you had a flight at 8:40 why would you come at 8:00 on a holiday weekend" I replied " I was got here at 7:50 and had over thirty minutes to spare. I asked you to allow me..." anyway, I was heated I ended up paying $25 for a new flight that was cancelled and then delayed and then cancelled and finally boarded at 3:00pm. I am still upset because I didn't make my test which I couldn't make up and I didn't make my appointment with the Dean

So the moral of this story is as follows
1. Don't fly Northwest
2. if you have the misfortune of flying be sure to have plenty of food or buy something to drink and have a book because you will be bored waiting at the terminal
3. Don't schedule anything on that day you are flying in or out because you will not make it
4. Know that thier customer service sucks so don't expect anyone to be helpful to you
5. Plan a place to sleep if you are stranded so you don't have to be stuck in a place you rather wouldn't be during a holiday
6. Don't get mad! Get a free ticket or a meal voucher. Something to make you feel better that your tired ass sitting in a terminal was worht it.
7. Always have a valid driver's liscence!

T: I can only text for now but I miss you honey there is soooooooooooo much drama going on I can't wait to vent! I miss you more than you will ever know. See you guys soon
