Question 8

As my fellow fans read my blog, you would have noticed I only have 7 questions. Well here is the 8th question, category FEARS; What you happen if I miss my flight? This question is one of life's great questions. You could almost compare this question to; what came first the chicken or the egg? This is my story answering my 8th question....


The day is Sunday, May 25th. The time is 6:00am in the morning, and I've been ready to leave the house for an hour, because in one more day I leave for Greece at 12:20pm, May 26th. That my fans is what you call a fairy tale. This is the true story of what happened. Hungover at 5:30am, was a best friends 20 birthday. Thinking to myself, "Wow, I'm so lucky in one more sleep I'm in Greece." We (as in my parents) drive to Naniamo because my dad has a hockey meeting. I sleep in the truck because I'm still tired.
I wake up from my nap, by a phone call. It went like this.....

Kevin-Hello
Cousin Chad- Dude, your so fucked. You missed you flight man.
Kevin- Haha, you can joke man.
Chad- No man, this lady named Collen called us.
Kevin- FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK! I'm so fucked.
Chad- Calm down get Pat and figure this out.
Kevin- No shit dumb ass.

What a great way to be awakened, its not girlfriend waking you up in the yes, I love you kind of way. The problem was I leave on the 25th of May and get to Greece on the 26th. I don't leave on the 26th. One quote comes to mind. "Welcome to fucking adulthood bitch!"

So, there is me freaking out, heart pounding, sweating, swearing under my breath. Pat (a.k.a. step mom) is calling every travel place on the island. After my being sick countless times because of the stress, I get great news. I have a flight to Athens, At 6:00am on May 26th. In the end I will be behind my group by half a day, and another plane ticket that costs more money. Yes, my parents are so proud of me. I get to fly be myself, alone, and totally scared. But, there is a person who taught me about the "under glimmer". Now, if this is some kind of test that is giving to me from some higher power, great so far I'm passing, or if it is a test to see how far I can be fucked with, I'm passing. No matter how dumb and stupid I felt, I feel as if my journey to Greece will be a little more exciting that my groups. I have to do this on my own, (not really though my family really made a great game time decisions). I have to face internation airports by myself, jump in a taxi and get to my hotel. Then once everyone sees me and is like, "ohhhhh my god, you made. You are so stupid." I have to stand up tall and be like. " Yes, I fucked up, but I'm here. If you have something to say about this little event, say it in yoru head because I don't want to hear if from you."
This little event with the whole Greece trip, is something I well remember. No one ins the group will have this experince. It's my under glimmer on the first days of going to Greece.

I will say goodbye for now, I have to go sleep, and be up at 2:30am. I'll leave you with this note:
Don't be scared when the unexpected comes up, stand up tall, be strong, and drink a lot of water.
