Well, I arrived in Minneapolis yesterday at around 3:00. Everything with the flight went well (including the departure- only a few tears!) and I was pretty proud of myself for getting around the Minneapolis airport all by myself. Aside from a disgruntled mother in the shuttle to our apartment, all went pretty well. I got to our apartment and met all of my roommates and they all seem really nice! We decided to go grocery shopping and in the midst of being lost, my Uncle Byron called me to tell me he was "picking me up" (even though i wasn't at my house). He and his 2 brother in laws chased me around for a while and then we finally met up around 6 o'clock. I spent about 3 hours with them at the Baker family reunion and met a few of his relatives. Kind of awkward, but whatev. When I got home, that's when the real fun started. First, I couldn't get skype to work but after many tries, rob and I were finally able to talk. I told him I was stressed about finding a grocery store and a target and so I went to bed so I could get up early. After unpacking, as I was getting ready for bed, our two roommates came into our room and were like "Don't sleep on the sheets! There's bugs in them!" My first thought? Awesome! NOT. They were all eaten up and were itchy and we found a bug crawling in the comforter. We switched all our sheets and decided that we would deal more with it in the morning. I didn't sleep at all because i was worried about that, new bed to get used to, and my roommate sleeps with a fan which will just take a bit of getting used to. Needless to say, I was sure to purchase some unisom to make sure that doesn't happen again tonight.
Two of my roommates (Jackie and Funso) and I went to super target in the morning (after a few too many episodes of jon and kate plus 8). I was very relieved to get my groceries/toiletries bought so that was one less thing I had to stress about. When we got home, the apt lady came by and told us we could move to a new apartment on the third floor (which meant not having to listen to noisy neighbors upstairs!) so we willingly agreed. After quickly shoving everything into suitcases, we trekked over to the new apt to discover that it was in a smoking building. It was gross and was not nearly as nice. We weren't sure what we wanted to do. In order to get rid of the bed bugs, they have to heat the apt to 160 degrees for a few hours and then cool it down. So what we opted to do was pack up for the new apartment for 2 nights and then hopefully by wed, we can be back in our good apartment. We wish we wouldn't have bought so many groceries because now we have to move all the food so that the heat won't ruin it! yikes!
I'm exhausted. After unpacking/packing TWICE, I have no energy to work out. I'm trying to conjure up enough energy to shower, but I think a nap is required first. Later this week, once we are REALLY settled in, I'll post pictures of the new place. :)
