First attempt to Senegal... not too successful

According to the original plan I would have already been 15 minutes into my flight heading to New York, but then who likes to stick to a plan. The freezing rain and other undesirable weather conditions in New York are the causes for my flight to have been canceled. After an hour of trying to reschedule my flight, the soonest I can leave is January 9th because my ticket only works if I take the same route. So I've returned to my packed up apartment, roommate still sleeping, and I'm about to crawl back into bed. Give me 4 days and then hopefully I'll be writing you all from Senegal. My motto: all things happen for a reason. Maybe after some sleep I'll figure this one out.
