While
flying in to Washington, D.C. on Sunday afternoon, it would seem that
things would be very cool on my way to the internship training session with
Yp4.org. However, immediately upon my arrival to the airport I was set into a
different trance.

My
flight was delayed. I went ahead and chilled out because I knew the situation
would work itself out; and it did. I was challenged once more after finding out
that my trip would take another two hours and eventually ending up on three
planes, and running to different terminals to ensure I was on the right flight
(due to the unorganized ticket agents for Continental Airlines).
