... and off i go to Ohio!

I had spent the last night packing. Only slept 2 hours. I knew i was going to have to leave at 6:15am to get to the downtown coah terminal with enough time to buy my ticket and be ready to board the bus. Hopefully I won't forget anything.

It's more or less the first time i've had to travel by myself, so i'm a bit apprehensive. I'm really not looking forward to the 3 hours i'll have to spend at the Buffalo bus terminal, waiting for the next connection to Cleaveland, but i don't really have any choice.

Of course, my mom didn't trust me with the packing, so she did most of it herself. She says that i should bring the ratty underwear and socks, just so that if there's not enough room to pack everything on the way back, i can just throw it out. Thanks mom, i'm sure i'll impress my boss that way.

I'm also a bit apprehensive about meeting my boss. Is she going to be okay with me? Am i going to wake up in a bathtub full of ice and a kidney removed? I think i'm going to be the only guy there ... what's going to happen? I guess worse come to worse, i can always admire the nice carpetting that the hotel has.

Hopefully I won't splurge too much at the convention. I don't think i will though. I've been to the Toronto one in August, and there was never anything i really wanted to get.

Anyways, they promise me that there's going to be internet there, so hopefully, i'll have some time to write.
