About the sentence

...I was looking forward to it being really bad...

To look forward to something means to be happy or excited about something in the future. When used in the past continuous like this, it usually means that you were disappointed by something, or your expectations weren't met.

e.g. I was looking forward to having a quiet week but it's ended up being crazily busy.
