Hopping back over the pond for graduation

Am back in the UK, heading to Bangor for graduation. Am stealing WiFi in the Manchester Airport train station for a few minutes while I wait for my train.

Bastards on American Airlines failed to put my checked luggage on my connecting flight in Boston, like they swore up and down that they did do when that first flight ran late and there wasn't much time to make it to the connecting one. Nice man at baggage information tells me it should be here tomorrow and they will ship it right away to Bangor, but I'm a bit worried now b/c graduation is at 3 and I need to have my dress clothes for that and for the reception at 1. I KNEW I should've packed that damn suit in my carry-on.

God, I hate traveling. This is the first time I've ever had a luggage screw-up, and of course it had to happen when I REALLY need what's in my bag. Will have to go to the shops now and get more saline and things b/c it was all in there b/c of stupid liquids rule.

Exchange rate is also shite. Am happy to be here, honestly I'm thrilled, but damned if the little things aren't annoying right now. Maybe I'll be better once I've had some sleep.
