Departure

I'm hoping today is the day my flight is not cancelled and by the looks of it, i think i am right. Its 1:51 in Sweden if this blog notes my time. The reason i am up this early is because i need to catch the 4:03 train to the airport and im an extremely nervous flyer. I dont mind airplanes, it that i hate airports. I am the black cat of airports and it doesnt matter how much i do it, i continue to discover cruel and usual ways in which the airlines can torture me.

My advisor called me last night to tell me he has checked with his friends in Burkina and says the coast is clear, there is no need to worry. im happy to know that, but still cautious.

i also managed to already explode my shampoo bottle in my bag (super) which was cleaned up last night.

For those of you who dont know, Bjorn planned a sailing camp over this weekend so that he would be away when i was away to keep his mind off it, and of course im still here and now alone shlepping to the airport with winter clothes only to arrive to a place hotter than the sun. Poor timing.

im so tired, but too nervous to sleep....im going to try and make some tea. Ill write when i land!
