Driving in a hurricane is never a good idea, but we didn't have much choice on Friday, so we packed up the car and headed East. Quite the adventure. The storm actually was not as bad as predicted and it was great fun getting to know a little more about Philly, though less wet would have been appreciated.
I am now the proud owner of bedding - that does not have music notes on it. And professional clothing that does not make me look like I'm playing dress-up. Though the lady at Target did comment every time I came out wearing something that I looked "cute." Yes, cute works well. Not what I was going for, but you take what you can get in Target in a strange town during the middle of the worst storm they've experienced in 25+ years.
My roommates for the week are wonderful. Already we have bonded over awkward comments and my being unable to push the right direction of the elevator buttons. I now just push them both so that way I'll get one of them right. That and the fact that I can never remember where I've put my key card. I've been here less than 12 hours and I've lost it twice. This is why you should always travel with a buddy.
We have found places to eat, a park with swings, and TPC. We aren't sure how to get to the 7th floor quite yet but that's not important at the moment.
