Possibilities

This week Roberts and I went to a new place to decide if that is where we wanted to spend the next few years of our lives. While we were there I talked to an adviser to find out my options for school. We attempted to find an apartment and looked for jobs. Let's just say it was less than amazing. Our first day there we met with a guy at an apartment search place and he really helped up narrow things down. He took us to what he called "the nicest" apartments in town. I guess I have been spoiled by where we live now but nothing there even compared to what we have. Things in my meeting with the adviser went well so that was a bright spot in the day. The campus is really big and confusing to navigate so we got lost about 20 times. We went home that night without finding any jobs or an apartment.

On day two things were a little different. We looked for some jobs, and I found out that the job I was hoping for had been filled. boo. We were tired of looking at apartments and being disappointed so we didnt really want to look anymore on that day. Once we got into town we called my sisters boyfriend to see if he wanted to have lunch with us and he agreed we would meet at 12:15. This gave us around 45 minutes to waste. There had been some lofts that our apartment finder guy had mentioned that were a little above our price range and he said he would check them out for us the day before. We forgot about them so I thought we could go look at the before lunch since we were in the area. I got the maps on my iphone and we headed to find the lofts. After doing that same loop we got lost on the day before Roberts was ready to give up but I convinced him to try one more time and just to park and we could walk to them. After going up hill and back down hill and going on campus to search for these apartments it was obvious we were in the wrong place and Roberts was sure of it. We stopped to look at a map and a very friendly girl let us know we were in the wrong place. After all why would lofts that were not affiliated with the school be on campus? We slowly made are way back to the car and took our sweaty bodies to lunch. On the way I couldn't understand why Roberts kept turning the opposite way of the restaurant until all of a sudden we pulled up in front of the lofts. They were at the total other end of the street. I had my map upside down. Since it was already time to meet our friend we left and went to have a pretty good lunch by the river. After lunch and a little convincing we drove back to the loft to see if we could have a look.
