Airplane experience

It’s quite ridiculous that I got on this plane only 15 minutes ago, and the captain is already telling us that we are starting our descend into Burlington, Vermont. Some people might think it’s silly that I fly home, but why not fly? It takes about 5 hours to drive home, but only 40 minutes to fly! I usually fly Delta, but we decided to try something new. My mom booked me a flight with Jet blue. I absolutely love this plane. First of all, I am so happy my flight wasn’t delayed because right now it’s pouring out and in Burlington they are having a snow storm. I just want to get home now! Anyway, my plane is so darn cool. I am typing and watching MTV. Um yeah, my seat has its very own TV. This is just amazing…I am impressed.

Airplanes are extremely tiny…even the big ones. I always feel bad when I am walking through the aisles because I end up hitting someone. My backpack was slightly large today because I couldn’t fit everything into my suite case. I kept turning to look at the seat numbers and when I did, I would slam my bag into some innocent person’s face. Then, when I found my seat, I had the window, but the two other people were already sitting, so they both had to unbuckle and get out of the seat area,. In the meantime, I’m holding up the entire line of people trying to get onto the plane. What I seriously hate is when people take their time putting their personal belongings into the over head compartment. Then, when we were starting to leave the gate, the captain made an announcement that if the person in the back of the plane didn’t sit down, we wouldn’t leave for another hour. Apparently, some idiot in the back was standing up doing only God knows what. After about 10 minutes, he finally realized every pair of eyes on the plane was glaring at him and he sat down. Goodness gracious, now I am being forced to put my computer away.
