Enjoying an extended holiday?


If the words ‘I am sorry, you’re flight was cancelled’ are familiar to you, then we are in the same situation. A dormant Icelandic volcano has erupted, ripping a 1km-long fissure in a field of ice. Icelandic as well as the European airspace has been closed, flights diverted and cancelled roads closed. This affected seriously my plans about going back to Manchester! And I am not in the worst position, because I was at home when Eyjafjallajoekull erupted. It was really odd packing and unpacking my clothes, but at least I could sleep in a normal bad, not on a chair in the airport. But there are many students who got stuck for days, without food or normal sanitary conditions. As a coin has two parts, so does this eruption for us, INTO Manchester student. On a side we enjoy an extended holiday, meaning more time at home with our families, but on the other side we ‘ll have to catch up the lessons we’ve lost. Therefore a lot of work is waiting for us.

Thanks God that the flights were resumed and we can return to Manchester in order to finish our studies. But there is still a problem. Even though the sky is open, this doesn’t mean that there are available seats on your wished flight. Therefore you’ll have to wait, like I do…
Firstly, I wish you a pleasant flight, and secondly I am sorry for not posting earlier this week, I am really confused because of this volcano eruption!
