Exhausted and in England

My second flight was very uncomfortable compared to the first. I didn't sleep at all on my 8 hour flight. Not one wink. I did, however, watch three and a half movies. The plane has a small touch screen in the back of each seat, so I had my own personal screen the whole way. So I watched The Maze Runner, which was very good but very confusing, and then moved on to Captain America and the Winter Soldier, Mary Poppins, and finished up the flight with 20 minutes of Lucy. By the time the plane was over land again, I was dead tired and could feel a splitting migraine coming on. But the view was amazing. 

The sun was just coming up as we were flying over Ireland (I was tracking the flight on the little T.V.). We were above the clouds still, and the sky was a rainbow of pink to purple to blue. The clouds were so thick-looking, that I felt as if I just walk off the plane right on top of them. Then they would suddenly drop away to reveal all of the city lights beneath me. It was like a spiderweb of light, and I loved it. Then we started our decent into Manchester, and the previous lights were nothing. Manchester is HUGE. Absolutely huge. The city filled the whole plane window. I'm not sure how I'll survive in this place. Coming from Leeton, here is going to be a huge challenge. 

And then I finally got off the plane. I had to go through passport security, whack took about 15 minutes, but seemed like a lifetime. I was falling asleep in the line, and woozy from the migraine. The man asked me all sorts of questions that I was too tired to understand properly. I probably sounded like a total idiot to him. Every time he asked a question, I answered with an unintelligent  "Huh?" But then I finally got through, got my luggage, and found Susan and Ray. They whisked my home, I phoned my mother, and then Maureen come over to visit as well. We talked for quite a while, and then I headed up for a nap. I slept for four hours, but it didn't help much. I'm sure I'll be almost back to normal by tomorrow though. Susan and Ray are taking me shopping tomorrow; I need to buy a coat and a sim card for a phone that Maureen is lending me. Then I go to my dorm.
