the trip from hell
Well.
After Gene left me in Dallas, I cried until the plane took off. Several long hours later, I landed in Frankfurt. Where I was promptly mugged in a bathroom, losing a great deal of money. In terror, I hopped on the train to Prague, where I missed the train to Brno. I called Gene and broke down on the phone, scaring everyone to death. I finally made it to Brno, having been awake and without food or water for close to 24 hours, dragging 60 pounds of luggage. I remember trying to stay awake, hitting my head on a door when my knees gave out. In Brno, I got on a tram, praying I would not get stopped without a ticket. A very kind elderly man helped me find the summer school hotel, and carried one of my bags down the block. I managed to convince them to let me stay the night, even being a couple days early. Made a lot of overseas phone calls on my credit card, so I am having nightmares about my card maxing out and being broke.
I am angry at myself for all of this. It is unbearably stupid and wretched. I am most angry because all I want to do right now is go home. It is lonely here.
