cecilia's big trip documented

 hey void. in case u didn't know (we have been SUUUPEr on the low about it/sar), andrea and i graduated this weekend! burlington ceremony first then baltimore. now, i am on my big 11-hour long train from baltimore back to burlington. gonna be documenting every hour with what i did, listened to, my vibes, where i am, etc. i love trains! shoutout amtrack for this opportunity to sit for a long long time. 

hour: 1. it is 11:10am. we are in baltimore.

the train was like 4 minutes late which was honestluy. perfect because i needed to finish braiding my hair. andrea bought me a sandwich and a lemonade which was so kind. the wifi is seeming pretty ok so im gonna try to get some stuff from my to-do list checked off. not much to report on right now! just left beltimore. also jiggy stole like all of my underwear. also andrea was right and havig a buncfh of bags on the train is always impractical. ok see u guys soon!

I am listening to: have a heart (a playlist by me)

The train is lowkey throwing me around a bit. Sitting next to someone they seem chill they put my bag on the bag holder for me so thanks girl. oh my god im shaking so much its like hard to type. 


hour: 2. it is 12:04pm. i think we just entered pennsylvanit (like ten min from philly
)

the wifi is kinda garbage and the shakong train is making my typing even worse than it already is. regardless, i submjitted my loan exit counseling thing for FSA even though i had to do it twice. i also sent some emails to RSENR people about my independent study. they better not let me down. genuinely. i also sent a bunch of messages to my doctors about making appointments for my peace corp application. i texted the groupchat a it and they were funny. love them a lot. now i think im gonna make my calendar for next week and then do a peace corps personal statement. i sense a nap and a bathroom break in my future. 
i am still listening to the same playlist.
not much else to report right now. see u guys soon!

hour:3. it is 1:01pm. New jersey!

okay okay i know its not kosher to shit on the train but sue me im on here all day. i wish they had air freshener in there bc i do feel a bit bad about it. i finished all my peace corp stufft that i can do right now. honestly the wifis not horrible so i think im gonna try SALling later. the girl who was sitting next to me moved to sit with her dad so right now im flying solooooo. gonna try to nap and maybe take a bite of my sandwich. im not fully done with my coffee but am feeling a littttleeeee bit jittery. not much else to report on im still listening to that same playlist. gonna take my first sip of water of the trip! woohoo!!!
update from five minutes later: i had half of that sandwich it was BOMBBB!!!! new love of pickled beets is being downloaded. i did get some avocado under my ail and just picked it out with my teeth, i hope no one saw and thought i wasa nasty. a nice worker came to collect trash so i got rid of my coffee! feeling good gonna try to sleep for a min. 

hour: 4ish. its 2:25. leaving penn station on train 2

i just literally went to war to get onto this train. first of all there was a line for the escalator and it took so long that by the time i got on it was last call. every seat is booked so not gonna take a nap in a double seat for a while. i ate the second half of the perfect sandwich and it was yummytown deluxe even though it fel lapart and i was just eating ingredients with my hands (including more avocado under the nails). when the snack cart opens im getting a bev. ok gonna send some emails then sal again. hopefully the wifi isnt too evil!

hour: 5. its 3:18pm. were upstate like just passed croton.

my wifi was NOT working after i made my hour 4 update. i did not sal. i have been listening to twin plagues by wednesday then the radio after it. reading the new ocean vuong. so excited about it but its the first like story novel type thing instead of poem. this woman is sitting next to me but i kinda wanna go to the bathroom and then the snack cart then come back to my seat. shes having a convo with someone in the other aisle and i dont want to be rude by needing to pee. my hands smell like m sandwich which is a little bit upsetting. honesly just feeling bored rightt now tbh. this train is PACKED!
