Day Seven: We'll call this one "Chasing Pavements"

I craved salt. We'll start with that. I craved salt all of day Seven, and there are not enough pickles in the world to save me. I've been a bit dizzy, so I think I'll be increasing my sodium intake by 110%. Low sodium levels=low blood sugar, and my body has a hard time retaining sodium, even though I eat salt aalll the time. Now, on from the complications of my innereds...
I received an e-mail from Chad Barton's School of Hair to come and tour at "any time", specifically saying (or so I thought) that they were on the premises that day, so I figured it'd be a good Saturday activity to venture over there and see what's up. This is when things started getting way too complicated: I went to program the address into the gps so that I could get there without having to cry, but the device failed to recognize the "I-35 Service road" that the school is located on. I thought to myself, "Hey! I've been here a week! I've driven on the I-35 service road before! This will absolutely not be a problem because I am Geographically gifted naturally and I can find ANYTHING". Yeah? WRONG! This drive that should have taken me 10-15 minutes TOPS ended up taking me an HOUR AND A HALF!! I drove down SO many roads that I didn't know, including multiple random interstates, and eventually stopped at a gas station for directions. As luck would have it, all I had to do was drive about three exits south, then get on the service road and find it. This is what sucks about people in Oklahoma: They have no North to South concept. The roads run from East to West, so they don't actually use the words "North" and "South", they POINT. The problem with POINTING is that it's really easy to POINT NORTH instead of SOUTH. Luckily, I'm a smart cookie and I know that Oklahoma City is north of Moore, which is where the school is located. So I headed SOUTH three exits on I-35, which MIRACULOUSLY took me to where I needed to be!
Now, my excitement was uncontrollable; you all know how high energy I can be sometimes. I jumped out of the car and scurried over to the door, only to find a sign that says, "School will be Closed on July 2-4 for the holiday weekend". WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?!@?!?!?!??!?!?!??!?@??!?!?!?!? I decided to try the door just in case, and it actually opened! I walked inside to see who was there to answer a few of my questions, but there WASN'T anybody. I walk around a little, say," Hellooooo???" a few times, but there really wasn't anybody there. The cash register was open and emptied of it's inhabitants, but all other valuables where out in the open. I wrote a lengthy note telling them that they should really lock their door, and also call me when they get in because I want to enroll!
After this, I meandered around and found a cool second hand shop called "Daisy Exchange" and bought some work appropriate clothing. I'm probably going to be returning to there regularly because it's right next to the hair school, so YAY! There were a lot of ugly people and screaming children, but I learned that there are in fact teenagers in Oklahoma! I hadn't seen any until this point, or anyone in their twenties either, so I was jazzed. After that, I drove around for a while until I managed to find someplace to eat, and bought my aunt some food as well.
The rest of my day was spent reading and working out, I maybe ate something but I don't remember. blalalalalalnlbllbllaahhh
