back to the daily grind

so it is friday morning and things are back to normal. i've been back in cork since tuesday afternoon, and have been working since wednesday so i'm getting back to the routine.

my flights over were good. my flight from newark to heathrow was actually fabulous. i was the lucky person who didn't have anyone sitting next to the on an almost full flight. i read a little, attempted to watch some movies and this is the big one! i was able to sleep for like an hour. so we land in heathrow and it is all dreary and wet, i was sad to be leaving the sunshine. so they changed heathrow in the last 3 weeks and now if you have a connecting flight you don't have to go through immigration to the departures to go back through all the security lines. you go a different way through your own lines and it was soo much easier. though because the lack of sleep i was just confused as it has been changed since my last trip through the airport. so then i'm waiting at the gate for my flight to cork, and a woman on her phone next to me was like oh they don't have power at the cork airport. i was like fabulous. so luckily flights were still coming and going, but slightly delayed. so the flight wasn't too delayed, but at this point i was tired and was getting a headache, so the flight from heathrow to cork was not fun. and then once we got to the airport we had to wait 30 minutes on the plane for them to bring us stairs, then once we got off the plane and through immigration we had to go wait outside the main entrance to get our bags. so we waited another 20 minutes to get our bags and it was so crazy. i was so excited to finally get home and sit down and do nothing for the afternoon. kara came over and we caught up, gossiped, i got the home & away update and then i just relaxed and unpacked. watched private practice and grey's with brenda and i was totally falling asleep around 11.

wednesday was my first day back to work, getting up was rough, but i was ok for the majority of the day. work is just starting to get busy, with results coming out next week but this week has been ok. after work on wednesday went climbing. it was good to see everyone and like usual climbing turned out to be doing a few climbs then we all were sitting around talking. so that was fun. thursday at work we were crazy. all 4 of us worked, so there really wasn't enough work for us all. so we had fun laughing. then i decided to do some work on the thesis. so i read a few books i had at home, and after lunch i am going to go to the library to grab a few books andy suggested to me at our last meeing. so today at work it has been super quiet, so i'm not complaining. i must go grocery shopping after work this afternoon, and this weekend will be working on the thesis, so lots of fun ahead! ohhh and the cork-killkenny hurling match on sunday!
