UPGRADE!

Current location: Seoul, South Korea.
Hours without sleep: 24
Amount of time in the airport/left in the airport: 1 hour down, 3 more to go
Amount of total airplane time done: 5 hours
Amount ahead of me: 21 hours (3 of which are a lay over in Chicago)
Good part of the day: When I started crying while watching Toy Story 3 in the plane, I got to do so in a reclining seat with a 17 inch monitor in business class. Yes. That's right! I got upgraded. And guess what, it was only for my 5 hour flight and not my 17 hour flight. Am I still happy? Yes. Am I going to try and upgrade in my next flight even if I have to pay? You betcha!
Bad part of the day: I had to pay American prices for my Caribou Coffee. I used my debit card for the first time in four months at a store. I didn't like any of these aspects of the day. (But the coffee was pretty good.)

Well, this isn't everything that I will talk about. The last week in Vietnam has been filled with lots of work (finishing up my Independent Study Paper and Presentation), eating lots of food, going to Vung Tau and swimming in the ocean, drinking beers behind a market watching tourists, and buying lots of name brand clothes with small defects at super cheap prices in Saigon. It was great and I still can't believe I am going home. It's so crazy. Also, it was in the high 80's our last few weeks in Vietnam. Guess where it's not in the high 80's? MN. I guess I need to contact the weather gods again.

Alright, see anyone who wants to see me soon. You'll know me by my glowing tan that most of you probably lack by this point!
