Currently positioned in the Tulsa Airport on a layover on my way back home(?) to Chicago. This airport needs a serious 21st century makeover watching the flight attendants changing the gate signs manually. I had a pretty rough morning dealing with TSA, however, it was made much rougher due to my 3 hours of sleep from the night before. In my complete lack of sanity due to my complete lack of rest I managed to forget to empty out my water bottle before going through security. To my surprise they aren't very lax on the whole "Sorry I forgot I left have a cup of water in my bag," and the woman forced me to exit the security check and dump out my water, then causing me to go through security for a second time. My attitude was influenced by exhaustion and my flight leaving in 30 minutes, so I stomped out of the gate to re-do the entire thing over again-- I did manage to make it highly noticeable I wasn't pleased to all the remaining security around. I was so convulsed by the experience that I then began to think about if I missed my flight. Would they of refunded my flight? Rescheduled a new one for free? I understand the government being strict since past incidents, but I'm a 19 year old girl who has a half a full Lululemon water bottle who's flight leaves in 30 minutes-- could they not of let me just slide?
In positive news, I still managed to make it on my flight, get a front window seat, and pretend to nap for 45 minutes. Overall, I'm remaining positive about my spring break and today because I've managed to shake my seasonal depression and experience the happiness of the sun against my skin for a week. It was lovely being back home even for the short amount of time I was there. These next few weeks will be the ultimate test to see if I can survive the remaining "spring" temperatures Chicago has to offer.
Ciao.
