JDP in MDP

Hey yo, what’s with all this snow
Making me wait til tomorrow
To get on my plane?
I think I’m gonna go insane
thinking bout this flight
I cant even sleep at night

so im thinking its a conspiracy
by that rapper dude B.o.b
He’s the one who caused us all this pain
by making wishes outta all the airplanes
and rite now, i dont care about the critics
so im gonna change the lyrics
to “can we pretend that stuck cars
in the white snow, are like shooting stars
i could really use a wish right now”
Because my street aint plowed
and theres no way i can get out of the house
unless you expect me to fly out on a cloud…

And whats with all these airports, like JFK
What in the world were they doing all day?
They knew about this blizzard weather
but didnt bother to make things better
You know they couldve planned it
So that less people were stranded
but no now everyone’s stuck
and theyre all outta luck
Cuz the mcdonalds is outta food
and you know that aint good

So what’s with this snow
Ruining our plans, you know
Stopping our flight to Argentina
and to Egypt for Simmi and Albina
But we’ll get there eventually
even as our frustration grows exponentially
Soon, we be rocking Buenos Aires in style
and Albina and Simmi will be chillin by the Nile
And soon all of this will be just a memory
about how we survived the blizzard of the century

My flight got cancelled because of the snow,
Now I have to wait two more days to go.
I will miss the tour of Buenos Aires and the tango show,
But this does mean I have more time to pack though.

I should be on a flight to Dallas right now if it weren’t for this snow.  This morning, I woke up and began to get ready for my flight at 2:20 pm, which I hoped was early enough that it wouldn’t be cancelled.  I was wrong.  It was cancelled.  So then, my friends and I tried to reschedule to an earlier flight at 12:25 pm.  This also got cancelled.  Then, we tried to get on a flight tonight  at 10 pm that was flying directly to Buenos Aires.  At this point, I wondered how this flight wasn’t cancelled when the snow was supposed to get WORSE as the day went on.  Right after this thought, I was informed that this flight was also cancelled.  So then we tried to get on the direct flight for tomorrow. Can you guess what happened next? That’s right! This flight was also cancelled.  As of now, I am booked for the direct flight on Tuesday.

This whole experience was pretty depressing.  Since I will be arriving so late, I’m going to miss the city tour of Buenos Aires and the Tango Show.  Oh well, at least I don’t miss the bus to Mar del Plata.  Lets just hope that this snow clears by Tuesday so my adventure can begin!!

I gotta go but
Its gonna snow,
And then they might
cancel my flight

Merry Christmas!!!!!

Why must the first legitimate snow storm of the season happen on the day of my flight?! The National Weather Service issued a Blizzard Warning for the New York Area. I nearly had a heart attack when I heard that some other students’ flights have already been cancelled.  Hopefully this does not happen to me and I will be able to reach Argentina safely.  SAY NO TO SNOW!!!

Also, I haven’t started packing yet. (This is not my fault completely. I was unable to pack due some unforeseen circumstances.) —-> I am so STRESSED.  This means its time for DESSERTS!

Off to Argentina in two days
And my mind is in a haze
Excitement and fear ebb and flow
One after the other as I prepare to go

I am going to have a panic attack.  Two days from now, I will be on a plane going to Argentina. This will be my first time away from home for so long and I wouldn’t be surprised if I end up giving “Homesickness” its own page on this blog. In addition to be scared out of my mind, I am also super excited about experiencing a whole new culture.  I plan on eating large amounts of steak, tasting a little bit of wine, getting a tan, having long walks on the beach at sunset, and tangoing the night away. Oh and doing an entire year’s worth of coursework in sixteen days.  Whatever happens, this trip  is going to be the adventure of a lifetime!
