After landing in Newark and making my way to the baggage check in, I felt relieved that things were finally settling down. With a new friend in hand, we made our way to the terminal and waited patiently for our plane to get there. Some sandwiches and hours of CNN later, there was an announcement that our flight was delayed. It wasn't my favorite thing to hear, but I was glad that I had people to wait around with. Two hours later we were informed that the flight would be delayed again due to engineering problems; however, this time they didn't tell us how long the delay would be, leading us to believe that it would be a long time and that they didn't want to further upset everyone. It wasn't long until the flight was eventually canceled and everyone was shuffled over to a hotel nearby.
Though the whole situation has been stressful, I am thankful for these things:
1) I can still find joy in God's unchanging character, His sacrifice for me, and all the things He has done for me in the past
2) Everyone I've met so far seems to be pretty friendly, despite the situation
3) Was able to room with two very cool girls; sad we're all staying in different buildings
4) Hotel room is nice and was paid for
5) No one is judging each other for not showering/changing clothes
I hope my next update will be from London! I'm supposedly flying out at 7:20PM tonight, but I wouldn't be surprised if that doesn't work out...
