  • we went back to BSC. we just had to.
  • running through airports is sort of fun. it feels like you’re in a movie or something.
  • the plane home had those individual video monitors in the back of every seat, so i got to watch the recruit. unfortunately, we landed before the end, so i still haven’t seen the last 5 or 10 minutes. if anyone knows how it ends, tell me, because it’s not worth seeing again.
