This weekend I'm going to Baltimore to see some friends. I am so excited!!
I haven't seen them in at least 6 months. We kept on making plans to meet up and then something would happen and we would have to reschedule. Ugh it was annoying.
While I couldn't be more excited about seeing them, I am a little nervous about one thing.
Driving around Baltimore. The one girl who I'm staying with recently moved. I've never been there before so I'm a little nervous about getting lost. I HATE to get lost. I get anxiety just thinking about being lost. Which is stupid because eventually when you're lost you find your way. I don't know why I get like this.
Plus it's supposed to rain all weekend which makes my anxiety that much worse. Then there is the worry about parking. I have to parallel park and I can literally count on one hand the number of times I've done that. It's nerve racking for me.
Just typing this out I'm getting all panicky.
I know once I get there everything will be fine. I know once I'm in the car I will be fine too. It's just this build up that I do to myself. That's what kills me.
Hopefully writing this out will help calm me and rationalize that I really have nothing to worry about.
I hope you all have a great weekend!!! Wish me luck tomorrow! ;)

Better luck next time...
Going to look at the apartment this weekend was a disaster. I’ve never driven to Hoboken before so I was a little nervous. Plus I am one of the few people left that doesn’t own a GPS. It was Mapquest all the way for me. Needless to say, I got lost. Really really lost.
I was fine until I was right near the city. I missed the street I was supposed to turn onto, so I figured I would turn down the next one, make a few right turns and be back on track. But then the street was a one way, so I went down and tried to turn and before I knew it I was in Jersey City. That’s when I really started to panic. I was really out of the way now, and I just kept driving aimlessly hoping to see SOMETHING that would get me back on track.
I called my mom, she grew up in Jersey City and knows the area really well, but of course she doesn’t answer the phone. I should also backtrack here, I told my mom I was going to look at a place that morning and she got really upset with me. Like crying hysterical upset, which I’m assuming is why she refused to pick up the phone when I called.
Finally I saw a group of woman who were soo helpful and was able to give me CLEAR directions that lead me back to where I should go. (BTW don’t you hate when people give you ridiculous direction that only makes sense to them? While you are sitting there shaking your head like you understand…)
I called the girl whose apartment I was seeing and she FREAKED out on me for being so late. It’s not like I was planning on being late. Apparently she had to go to work that day and had a million things to do before hand. Well, if you had work then why didn’t we set up the appointment for earlier that day??? Also, as I said before, I wasn’t planning on getting lost. She should have been a little more understanding…
I finally get there and the apartment is not that great. It’s actually a nice size place considering the area but it was REALLY dark inside and my room didn’t have a closet. I would have to use one in the kitchen. I wasn’t too crazy about that idea. The place really wasn’t bad, but I didn’t feel like it was right for me. I didn’t feel very comfortable there, not a homey inviting atmosphere. Also the girl who would have been my roommate couldn’t get me to leave fast enough. I was there a grand total of five minutes.
Defiantly not a match made in heaven. It also gave a big realization that I would be spending a ton of money to live in a tiny apartment. I’m not sure if I am ready for that yet. I will continue to look at ads for apartments but I am in no rush to move yet. If I am going to spend so much money I want to absolutely love the place. Also it wouldn’t hurt for me to save up more money.
Maybe I’ll have better luck next time. Or maybe I can save up enough to buy a house in the next few years…
