Things I Learned in O'Hare

- Domestic security is faster than International.

- I liked their immigration - I didn't have to explain why I am studying theater in the Middle East.

- But weather is stupid. As is rescheduling.

- The only thing open 24/7 is Starbucks.

- Terminal 1 is a cold terminal for napping. 2 is much warmer.

- United customer service doesn't open until 4:30AM.

- Being there right when customer service opens means that you can get an earlier flight.

- Thinking you will see you mom, and your dogs, and that you will sleep in your own bed, only to have to sleep in an airport because of a flight cancellation, is a horrible feeling. Especially after being away for 3.5 months in a foreign country.

- After traveling for 14 hours, crying, and sleeping on the floor, your eyelids get weirdly puffy. 

- You have to buy Wi-Fi here.

- The chairs are only slightly more comfortable than the floor for sleeping.

- Travel sheets are amazing. What is even more amazing is that for some reason I had it in my carry-on luggage. 

- You can be simultaneously exhausted and awake.

- Bacon and Bagels are really really good after traveling. 

Home in 6 hours.
