I’m starting to feel that sinking feeling again. Like the girl who was picked last when dividing up softball teams. (Yes, that was me.)
Next month I will be heading to San Diego to attend my very first Bloggy Boot Camp. For those of you who have no clue what I’m talking about, Bloggy Boot Camp is a one-day blogging seminar where you learn a whole bunch of stuff about blogging. I was pretty excited when I got my ticket… was even more excited to learn that some really awesome bloggers would be there too. Now, I’m not so sure.
Went online today to make a hotel reservation and the block of discounted rooms set aside for the seminar are all taken. Crap. Bad enough to have to pay for two nights of the discounted rate, but no way can I really afford to pay for two nights at the full rate. What to do?
Seems that there really isn’t anyone going who needs a roommate. Double crap.
My only other option is to find a cheap hotel somewhere close by. And stay alone. All alone.
Now this fun, exciting weekend away isn’t sounding all that exciting to me. I don’t want to stay at another hotel. I don’t really “know” anyone who is going to be there - at least, not in person. I’m worried that I’ll be sitting there all by myself and nobody will talk to me. Or worse… people will talk to me and find out I have absolutely nothing to say.
I considered selling my ticket. I know there is a wait list for people who want to do. I hate doing things myself. I mean… I’m okay hanging out at a beach in Hawaii all alone. But, spending the entire day and night at a seminar with other people when I’m all by myself… I’m starting to sweat.
I need some words of encouragement. Somebody??? Anybody???
