Inching Closer
Oh me oh my- I can feel this race slipping away.
I am now stuck in Hawaii. I made it on the flight to Hawaii, which was a stroke of luck because there were 23 people on standby and I was low on the list. But I did get on and since I was exhusted slept the entire way. Drinking Tim Hortons and staying in nice hotels is harder than you think. Once we landed in Hawaii we were supposed to all have to get off the plane and then I would be on standby again for the flight to Sydney. But that isn't what happen- apparently one of the pilots who was supposed to fly us there has a case of food poisioning and cannot fly. The result is that the flight that was supposed to take off at 11:55pm (Hawaii time) is now scheduled for 10am tomorrow. BAH!!! Now I know it wasn't right for me to arrange to have that person killed to delay Dzido's flight. I know it was wrong and I admit that. But I am going to have ask him how he was able to poision my pilot from so far away on such short notice. geez this race is cut throat!
So everyone who had a confirmed seat was shuttled to a hotel, given a free night and food. And what happens to us poor employees-related people? We get dumped. Luckily I was not the only one and I met up with a woman named Kelly who was with her baby Holly and in the same situation that I am in. So we decided to split the cost of a hotel room tonight. I can't sleep since I have no idea what time zone I am in. I think I am on London time, which is 10 hours off of where I am, but I really don't know anymore. Also- I still don't have a bag. It was apparently sent through to Syndey so no baggage for me and still no new underwear. I am going to have to burn the pair I have on when I finally change them. (more underwear updates soon)
What are the implications of all this for the race? Well if Dzido gets on this Bangkok-Sydney flight it will give him about 9 hours head start to the hostel. But that is only if I get on this flight, which is far from a sure thing. If I miss it, I am stuck until tomorrow night when I can try for the 11:55pm flight. So here's hoping they find the drugs that I planted in his bag and he gets taken by Thai-customs...no wait...that may be going too far.

Oh and just in case you think I am being lazy, I got accepted to another law school while I was doing all this. The world never stops spining!
Good job!! which school?
It is -33 here today. Hawaii sounds delightful.

You are confused about time zones you are in? We are not much better!!! If you write "plane leaves this morning" we don't have a clue if this is "tomorrow's afternoon" or "yesterday's evening" our time :-).
haha i could think of worse places to be stuck in, lol...but i hope you get out of there soon, afterall you still gotta win! And HUGE CONGRATS on getting into Western :D:D
Aloha!
Hope you can enjoy some beach while you are there. Don't step on hot lava when you pass near volcano. Protect your flying crew as you know... things can happen.
Sorry that you lost the race. Not too sorry though. Dzido must buy me presents with his prize winnings. :)
I laughed out loud when I read the part about you arranging to have that guy on Dzido's flight killed. Oh dear. That's not right at all!
Congrats on another law school (although... does it even matter anymore *wink*). Stay safe in Australia and have soooo much fun!
i cannot believe that you were in hawaii and didn't call me! tsk tsk mister todd!
aaaanyway. looks like you're getting into lots and lots of law schools, eh? got a plan about where you're off to next or are you just flying on the seat of your pants?
loves loves loves
