Lost...yet again.

I was placed in a motel when I got here, and I’ll be moving into my new apartment on Thursday. The motel is in a really busy area of town, with people constantly coming and going and cars clogging the streets. On Saturday, I made plans to go visit Johnny at his place. I left the hotel a little early so I could find my way to the subway. However, I got lost. So very lost. My sense of direction isn’t good, as you probably know, but this was bad. I would walk down a street to look for the subway, and if I didn’t find it, I would walk back to the hotel and then try another road. This way, at least I would be able to figure out how to get back home.

After walking around for over an hour, Johnny finally called me and asked where I was. Thanks to him and Google Maps, I was able to successfully make my way to Metapolis where Johnny lived. Three bus rides later, I arrived in a familiar part of town. Woot!

Johnny and I spent the first few hours catching up on each other’s lives, filling each other in on what we had missed the past three weeks while I was in the States. It was really great to see him. We went out for dinner to a chicken and fries place, so that was delicious! I already miss drinking sweet tea…a drink that I purchased at every place possible while I was home. Water will have to do for a whole year, and then it’s HELLO SWEET TEA!!

Tomorrow I am meeting the girl who replaced me at my old school. Her name is Abby. It’s funny how this happened. I left my church calendar on my desk at work, and she saw it. Abby texted me and asked if I went to that church, or if it was just a random calendar. I was excited to inform her that it was for my church, and I would be more than happy for her to join! So, we made plans to meet up tomorrow before church and have some lunch. I’m really interested to meet her and see what she’s like.
