Almost done!

This 4-week block of outpatient medicine is quickly coming to an end and tomorrow morning is my last half day of clinic. That means tomorrow afternoon I start the long and horrible journey back to CA! I'm extremely excited to be heading home for a few weeks, but getting there will be less than ideal for a few reason. First, because I'm gone so long I am taking a bus with a bunch of undergrads to the airport. It's only $7 dollars, and I have to take a bus just to catch the bus. At least I will get to the airport without having to park my car for tons of money. Second, I am taking Spirit Airlines. For those of you who have never flown Spirit for a longish flight, don't. I booked this flight before I knew how much I disliked the experience, which I found out in September when I went to SoCal for the weekend. Every flight was delayed, the seats don't recline, everything costs extra, and I mean EVERYTHING. I didn't want to pay $10-20 per flight (I have a layover in Vegas) to choose my seat, so despite checking in almost exactly 24 hours prior to my flight and there being an abundance of aisle and window seats available, I will be stuck in a middle seat for a 4.5 hour flight and then again for another 1.5 hour flight. Lucky me. Pretty sure they don't really give a shit about their customers and just want to squeeze as much money as possible out of everyone who can't afford to fly on a better airline. I am so not looking forward to that. Lastly, my flight is not scheduled to get in until 11:30pm in CA, so inevitably I will get home well after midnight, probably much later since the flight is almost sure to be delayed for one reason or another. At least I'll be snuggling with the puppies and hanging out with family soon.

As for now, I need to start packing! I also have quite a lot of Christmas shopping to do still, which means it's an Amazon kind of night. See you all soon!
