in Rochester
I'm in rochester hanging out until wednesday or thursday (still trying to decide which). I really didn't think when I planned this trip so I didn't figure out a way to not have to carry luggage with me. Also, as a result of taking the subway to Penn Station and carrying my luggage up and down stairs I both fell and twitsted my ankle. When I fell my ankle popped and now it's starting to swell and stuff (it happened yesterday). It's prolly fine but i had to buy sneakers so I didn't kill it with my shoes by falling again.
In Rochester I can leave my suitcase at Dot and Will's place. In the city I'm not sure what I'm going to do with my luggage because I don't know if anyone would let me store my luggage at their place for a few days even if I wasn't going to be there. Also, to get anywhere I'm going to have to take the subway again and carry the bag up and down even more stairs with the suitcase, my backpack, my med bag and a very hurting ankle. I guess I should really have thought about the places to stay thing better. I'm thinking of maybe trying to find a reasonable hotel at least for one of the nights so that I can check in during the day and leave my bag there while I explore the city (and I wouldn't be imposing on people so much). So, I'm not sure how one is supposed to deal with such a problem and I'm getting slightly frustrated with myself for not thinking about any of this when I decided to go there. It was prolly not the greatest idea because of the suitcase and places to go thing. I was kind of selfish thinking I wanted to see everyone without thinking about all this other stuff. Not good.
Today I'm hanging out with dot and will then tonight mass at newman. Tomorrow I'll be hanging out around campus so if anyone wants to grab lunch with me or have coffee, I'll be around. Although I have a meeting at 1pm that I need to go to so it can't be at that time.
