Airplane!

I recently had some good and bad experiences in the airplane so I thought it would be fun to share. I haven't been on a plane after I came to America. All I remember from my vivid memory is the inside of the gigantic plane with rows and rows of seats that are in front of the large TV screen. I guess the food was edible, though I wouldn't want to eat them again. I also remember when the airplane was lifting itself up into the air and me looking down at the small square window to see my softly lightened hometown in the dark at a glance. Taking off was as exciting as landing, although I had to use a paper bag as I got out of the giant airplane.

I finally had the chance to get into the airplane when the Spring Break just started. After I got into the airplane, I never guessed it would be so small. It was one of the Southwest planes with two rows of three seats. I couldn't complain about it and so I quickly found my seat and began listening to my iPod and stared outside the window till I started to feel dizzy. The turbulence was making it worse. The plane shook this way and that, making my head bobble like the little bobble head toys. For the entire week, I had horrible headache whenever I got on the car. When it was about to go away, I had to get on the plane again so I wouldn't miss my spring quarter classes. But the good thing about the airplane ride was the free peanuts and pretzels! On top of that, I almost missed my flight but someone kindly volunteered to give up his seat. Aren't I lucky or what?
