Seattle... not too impressive.

But I am almost home and nothing can stop me now - except the fact that Greyhound was sold out for the earlier ride. And that unfortunate fact is making me spend 4 extra hours in the States before I can head home to Vancouver. So the flights were not bad. I met three really nice ladies/girls on two separate flights and learned some Spanish that I soon forgot. But that is alright - I was running on 3 hrs of sleep and lots of excitement. From the plane I took lots of beautiful photos of the landscape, which I will upload once I am back in Dominica (I left my camera cord there).

Ah, it feels so amazing to finish the first semester and feel like a survivor. All these hours spent sitting down and bending over the books suddenly seem so trivial. The important thing is that I did it! And if I was to use one sentence to sum up my feelings right now, it would be - the world is mine to conquer! Okay you may think that is a bit silly...

I am sitting in a coffee shop in the WestLake Mall in Seattle (as shown in the photo). It is one of the few places that closed at 9pm. Everything else, including all Starbucks, closes at 6pm on a weekday. What a joke! I am used to having coffee shops open till 11pm, or even better - 24/7. That was frustrating - I did not want to sit at the dirty and creepy Greyhound terminal for 4 hours with a bunch of sketchy people. But I guess I have to spend a whole hour with them before I could get on the bus and pass out. I am so exhausted and not feeling so well. I think the AC on the planes are to blame.

Oh well. I am almost home :) My holiday begins!
