I woke up at 5:45 to prepare my stuff in advance and double check all my luggage. Once packed up, showered, dressed and ready to go it was approaching 6:30. My driver was waiting for me downstairs which made things a lot easier. I went downstairs, loaded my luggage and prepared for the long day ahead. 

Once arriving at school, we had to wait for others. There were a few late comers but it was alright. After waiting a little while everyone arrived. We got help from the bus drivers and coaches and managed to load everything up into the bus. We got in and drove to the airport. There was no lounge and we had about an hour in the airport. I went with Thisath, Ethan and Antoine and we went to eat some food at this restaurant at the airport. Can’t recall the name on the top of my head. We ordered a lot of food, way too much for that matter. We ended up having double the amount of fries we ordered because we ordered extra by mistake. Let’s just say the flights weren’t fun. We were all passing an ungodly amount of gas. 

Anyways, after eating we met up with our teachers and made our way to the gate. The first flight was pleasant enough. Once in Doha we didn’t have much time. We looked around a little and then made our way to the second gate. Our flight was delayed by about an hour, during the downtime I went to “Del Monte” at the airport, got myself a sandwich and fresh juice. Second flight was also pleasant enough. Upon arriving the workers at the airport weren’t very happy about us arriving because Jordan was in the middle of the FIFA ASIA CUP Semi-Finals against South Korea. After making it past the checkpoints we waited for our luggage then loaded it all up into the bus and made our way to the hotel. The weather was extremely cold but I absolutely loved the change of pace from Sri-Lanka’s constant humidity and heat. The hotel was also very lovely, it was a 4 star hotel and had lots to offer. After arriving at the hotel we arranged rooms and then we ordered some food, talked about the next day ahead and then went to sleep. My roommate was Darius.
