Okay guys, today I managed to fly out to Omaha, Nebraska! Awesome, right? Well I had quite the mishap attempting to board today, making me much less of a fan of airports in general. Bummer, right? Well after standing in line for about forty minutes, the guy at the front tells me that it's too late to check my bag, and I that I'm going to have to make a run for it. So I've got about 20 minutes till my flight leaves, and I've still got to get through security. Sadly, I had my bag full of shampoo and other such items that airports are in desperate shortage of, therefore they took all of it, making me very sad indeed. So there I am with my shoes off (they make you take 'em off) holding my computer, and two bags (because they didn't check it) and luckily my dad shows up to snatch my bag and lead me quickly to my gate. We've got like five minutes, and I'm running like a mad crazy person - with no shoes - through the airport, on those awesome moving sidewalks, down the escalator, through the gate, down the hall, and out to the plane. We totally made it with seconds to spare! I finally got to put my shoes on and catch my breath, and enjoy my in-flight beverage and cookie!
Well now I'm in Omaha, and I got my first look at the place I will be living for the next three years. First impression, I really liked it. It wasn't as flat as I had anticipated, and there are some really cool old buildings, and delicious restaurants. Plus, I really liked the actual dental school. I also ran into one of the sophomores, and he greatly encouraged me by letting me know that apparently all of the other guys in my dental class are slackers. Hmm, maybe that has to do with all of their drinking parties on the weekends! So basically, I'm excited for school next year. The living situation, however, is a completely different story. First of all let me express how much I hate trying to find a new place to live. Bleh. It is like my least favorite thing ever. So that is what I am attempting to accomplish during this trip, so I will most likely be in a better mood once I find someplace to live.
So today has been one of adventure, and I hope you enjoyed my narrative on the entire thing. Oh yes, and I also need to tell you about my madness that occurred yesterday. So I spent the first couple of days of my spring break in Cedar chillaxing with my brothers. Yesterday (wednesday) I finally decided that it was time to go back to Salt Lake. However, it was getting a little late by the time I finally pulled out. So I was enjoying myself, because I actually prefer driving at night. I even busted out my Angels and Demons book on tape, and was jammin' on down the freeway. All of a sudden I saw something in front of me. I slammed on the brakes, but it wasn't fast enough. I hit a deer! It scared the crap out of me, especially because you hear so many horror stories of deer totaling cars. I felt very lucky that I was just fine, my car was only mildly damaged, and the deer ran away, so I can only hope that it was okay. I guess someone has been looking out for me during my travels, and I feel very blessed to be safe during my travels!
I will try to post some awesome Omaha pictures when I get home. Peace out, guys!
