Frantic with flight Issues

     I don't even know how to express myself right now. I  am currently in Zurich, semi-stranded. But let me explain to you how this came to be.

     The night before I am supposed to be leaving for Florence on a simple journey that requires 2 planes, my dad tells me that the second flight was canceled. Instead of flying Brussels - Zurich, Zurich - Florence, I would be flying Brussels - Zurich, Zurich - Frankfurt, Frankfurt - Florence. But wait.. that's just the beginning.
     So this morning, everything is packed and I'm all set and I make it to the airport on time, everything is fine.. then my mom's cousin's husband starts telling me stories about his flights that were delayed and all these terrible flying stories. BAD OMEN! And I swear to you, that I knew it. My flight from Brussels to Zurich was supposed to leave at 9:50, but we didn't end up leaving until about 10:20. My flight from Zurich to Frankfurt was on time but since the first flight was delayed, I didn't make it on time.
   The guy at the transfer desk was bogus and I started crying, no lie. I called my sister and started crying. I had to get all my emotions out. And then I got pissed. 
  In the end, I ended up getting put on a waiting list for a direct flight from Zurich to Florence. The guy said that the list was 4 people long. I was super stressed. Luckily, they gave me a meal voucher. And if I hadn't made it on the flight, then I would have received a hotel voucher. 
  Thank the Lord that I made it on the direct flight!! Ugh!!! 
   
   More details on the first day when I charge my laptop!
