I had an interview today.
It was far away.
I figured out the metro stuff...
But I didn't understand the bus stuff.
So I walked the rest of the way. For one HOUR.
The humidity and my sweat caused my hair to rebel.
The dew in the grass (and not enough sidewalks) caused my shoes to get wet and grassy.
But it looked like my mission, so that was fun!
Ant hills and everything. :)
I walked into the interview looking like a HOT MESS. Literally. I felt the need to apologize for my appearance, especially my hair. So...I did.
I then walked back to the metro station. I got lost, so this took me longer than walking to the interview....probably an hour and a half.
I found a 711 and bought these. Two for three dollars.
I then got off on the wrong stop. Had to wait several minutes for the next metro line. And finally made it home.
I left the house at 7:30 a.m. and made it home at 2:15 p.m. The interview lasted 1 hour and 15 minutes. My legs hurt.
But I'm happy!
And now I get to walk 30 minutes to look at an apartment I might possibly rent.
Between all the walking and no money for food, I'm gonna get sooooooooo skinny. ;)

Oh the joys of independence and learning to get around a new area. I remember a very similar thing happening to me when I was on a trip to Washington D.C. with my Culinary class. Luckily when I was lost and walking down the road looking for bus stops for hours a whole group of culinary friends were with me.
You rock. And I don't chime in NEARLY enough to tell you how much I love reading your blog. Good luck! You are amazing and I can't wait to hear more about your happenings with your new adventure in grad school. :)
