Destination Heathrow

Greetings from the plane. I'm not actually posting from the plane, but I thought I'd type up a little ditty in Word to post retroactively later. I'm anxious. This is first time I've traveled to a different country all on my own, so it's a bit of a difficult experience for me. I admit, though, that I feel better now that I'm actually on the plane. Of course I'll feel best when I'm safely at Cambridge and familiar with the area.

I'm also really upset with myself because I forgot to pack my swiss army knife in my checked suitcase, so when I tried to take it through security they confiscated it. They said I had the option to "go back out and try to mail it to yourself," but I was already running late and I certainly didn't want to miss the flight. It was a really useful knife, and now I haven't got one.

The plane was a bit delayed anyway due to "Aircraft Servicing," so we didn't get on until about when it was originally supposed to leave. The pilot said we should make up the time in the air, though, and the bus I'm taking doesn't leave until 9:30, so I should have plenty of time. I am a little worried about that as well, because I bought a ticket with a discount farecard, but I haven't got the farecard yet, so I might have to buy the ticket full price. I hope they accept credit card, if that's the case, since I haven't got any pounds.

Anyway, I'm probably worrying too much. Hopefully I'll be a better mood next time I post.
