Today begins what will be a three month long adventure of me living in Baltimore for the summer! I hope to keep this blog so that my family and friends can read about everything that I do, and also for personal record more or less. Just keep in mind, I'm math-minded, not English-minded, so my writing skills aren't super stellar.
I got approx. 4 hours of sleep last night, and woke up at the crack of dawn to continue packing (I had no idea how to pack for a whole summer...let's hope I did it adequately). My dad and I left for the airport by 8 this morning, and we boarded the flight by 9:30. It was really weird because I thought that I would be really sad or scared to leave, but I wasn't. I even smiled as we took off. The flight was super boring. Four long hours of absolutely nothing.
We landed in Baltimore at 4pm, and we went to gather all of my luggage. We then went to the rental car place. Let's just say they were ultra ridiculous and it took us like an hour to get a car. My dad wasn't too happy. But. It's a cool car. It has mood lighting in it. I can change the interior lighting to any color I light at the press of a button. Plus, my dad likes it better than the VW Beetle we got when we were in Baltimore two weeks ago.
Anyway...we then headed straight to my hew home :) And here's what's really awesome: it really did feel like home! I was so happy to be there! My new roommate, Megan, really is going to be one of the best parts of living out here. We didn't stay too long though, just long enough to sign some forms and pick up my key so that we could officially move my stuff in tomorrow.
By this point, we were really hungry, and what would traveling be with my dad without going to a buffet? That's right. We hit it up at a Golden Corral. Our handy dandy GPS named "Mabel" will take us anywhere we want, so we told her where we wanted to go, and she took us there! It was a very much appreciated meal, to say the least, after what felt like a long day.
Now we're sitting at the hotel room. Dad is sleeping. Surprise? Not really.
I'm so happy to be here in Baltimore! It really does feel like home to me somehow. As corny as that sounds, it's so true. Am I scared? Maybe, but only about the unknown. Things like transportation, people, locations, etc. are what make me nervous. In the next week though, I will learn these things, and then I'll be able to start work next Wednesday and have a whole new array of adventures!
