back... awhile ago

so, i've been back for awhile now. just haven't updated, cuz it seems that sickkids has blocked access to blogspot.com. dang.

so on the last day, it was oh so very boring again. there was a poster i wanted to see at 9AM. so low and behold, i get up at like 6:30AM for the breakfast, and so that i can catch their shuttle, which is on a first come first serve basis, but i don't know what the means, since u don't hafta take a number of anything. ... anyways, it was raining like friggin' CRAZY in atlanta this morning (and all day apparently)... and at the last second, i decided that i was gonna take the marta instead of waiting for the shuttle. great decision. not! cuz when i finally hauled my ass, my huuuuge zeiss bag full of convention freebies, my huggeee poster, AND my suitcase to the marta station, i realized that i didn't have Sheng's Marta pass on me!! since the guy bought it for $18US, and i was supposed to return it to him today, i had to lug my suitcase, my poster, my huge bag, an dmy ass allll the back to the goddam hotel!!! when i finally went back into my room, i realized the stupid pass was in the my pocket the entire time - fun times. so i waited outside for the shuttle this time, since my suitcase was soaked already, and i didn't want my 7 copies of Neurosci Letters to get drenched. :P .... anyways, i squeezed onto the shuttle, an dmy suitcase was in the way of A LOT of ppl.... oh well, too bad for them, i'm a selffish little bitch when i'm desperate. .... anyway, got to convention centre, checed baggage, saw poster, was bored. was bored from 10 'til ... 11. internet wasn't working either!!!! ... finally, i saw sheng, and we ended up watching Over the hedge together on my laptop, at the convention centre. ... it was super uber dumb, the two of us sitting there, doing nothing. then we went out for lunch at, whereelse, the CNN centre (it's the ONLY food place near the convention centre that doesn't cost >$20/meal/person... friggin' nuts i tell u!). finally, i went back to the convention centre, and prepared to head off on the marta to the airport (which is so convenient!!!)... but alas, we bumped into Zenya and Jemy on the way out, and Zenya convinced me to take the shuttle. so i did. and was glad i did. cuz i don't like their marta very much... esp. not wiht a suitcase.

the atlanta airport has two terminals: north and south. ALL of the south is dedicated to Delta! i barely knew Delta existed as an airline!! hahahaaa!!! so, flying AC, i was in the north terminal, which, btw, is just a big long strip. the airport is really busy, and REALLY crowded, with REALLY REALLY long lines!!! the states is crazy about this liquids thing! i had my waterbottle half filled with water for me to take my meds, and also had echinacea and cranberry pills in the same bottle as my antibiotics... and because tey were being so anal, i had to drink my bottle and eat alllllllllllllllll the pills in case they asked me. omg, i was gonna explode cuz i just ate lunch!!!! .... (and i couldn't find anywhere to dump the water without stepping out of the crazy long line)... the other ppl in line had mascara, shampoo stuff, lipstick, etc etc etc in their luggage, and APPARENTLY they MUST be in a 1 quart (4 quarts? i dunno) ziplock bag! i.e. even if u only have one lipstick, u still must get ur grubby little hands on a ziplock bag to put that one lipstick in. why? because they have to be checked outside of ur carryon luggage - like how u hafta take ur laptop outta ur bag. ... so most of the ppl in this line didn't know that, and thye don't hand out these bags in line, so a lot of ppl had to step out of line (after a 20min wait already), to buy an entire BOX of these bags from one of the airport stores (they must've made a killing!)!!! i gotta admit, it worked out in my favour, cuz it made the line shorter, but those poor ppl!!! ... the States = paranoid.

flight was fine. everyone i end up sitting beside are really big, and take up some of my seat. glad my ass is relatively small. ... i watched THe Devil Wears Prada on the plane.. and this time, figured out how the volume works! hahahaa! i'mi so cool. .... and i think dr.gurd was on my plane too, but i'm not sure.... if it was him, he was sitting way in front... i was 5th row from the back. the male flight attendent was cute. and was like "are you sure?" when i told him i had to pee really really really badly (i just drank half a bottle of water!!!) before take off.... anyways, my baggage came out SECOND in the whole pack when i came back!!! hehheee... i was uber happy about that!!! ... but then.... i noticed that the zipper was at the bottom, and i had zipped it up so that the zipper was at the top!!! first thought: oh shit! stupid morons put drugs in my suitcase!!! luckily, i had gone thru security already. :P .... anyways, i opened my luggage in the car, and found a note from the Transportation Security Authority (US, not cdn) telling me that my bag was randomly selected for a HAND INSPECTIOn.... and that they're not liable for anything broken - what the fuck is that?!?!? it said that some luggage are locked, and sometimes they hafta break the lock and that u can't charge 'em for broken locks!! good thing i didn't buy a lock in atlanta, like i planned! ... oh well....

and now i'm back ,and wokring again.
