one week down
So My first week of college is done. Nothing too huge with that, mostly come home tired. It's a 40 min ride if I don't hit traffic.
But I did have a fucking horrible Friday morning. My first class is at nine, there's traffic in the morning so it should be 70 minutes.
-Oh but for those of you who don't know, as a freshman I can only park in the two lots that a very far a way, and then get shuttled to main campus.-
On a bad day you may end up waiting 15 mins. for one. I haven't had to wait that long in the mornings yet. So I left my house at 7 and if I get there with 50 minutes to kill I can always get a coffee.
So there's an exit that comes before the exit to the campus that'll take me directly to lot I usually park in. Friday I realized I passed it when I came to a stop light. But I didn't panic I thought, I came this way once before the next exit should be the exit to UNF. --Which it was, unfortunately thats all I remembered... and made a left when I should have gone right at the bottom of the exit ramp. I ended up at Dave & Busters.
I still wasn't panicked I saw the on-ramp for Butler (or 202) and knew that could take me to the lot I usually park in, I just didn't know if I needed East or West. So I called home, I also noticed they tried to call me three times since I left that morning. When I asked why my mom said it was because I left my books on the kitchen counter. How grand.
So I'm on 202 East I saw a sign for my exit, but realized as soon I went into the exit lane that it meant the next one not this. But since I knew where I was and where to go I get back on no big deal, and I'm curently more comfortable with turning around then squeezing between to cars real quick. I still had 30 mins.
On the bottom of the exit ramp I stopped at a red light, and felt something... go wrong. What I think happened was that my hand knocked the shift between neutral and drive when I wasn't braking. I didn't realize this then and started freaking, I started to tear up. After a few seconds I was like "I think I remember this from Drivers Ed, the engine stalled, I have to turn it off and back on." SO I did, and that didn't work, now the light finally turned green and I was trying to pull out my hazards thing but I couldn't get it to go because I was bit shaky, so I opened my door and most people realized they had to take a detour around me. I called mom again, so at work, and after telling her that car wouldn't move when I pressed the pedal. She asked "are you in park?" I'm like "no I'm drive" but then realized I was in drive when I tried to turn the car off and on again. SO I put it in park turn it off, turned it on and it was working. So about 20 mins. till nine. After that it was smooth driving to the parking lot. It was 9:10 when I parked I realized it would probably take another 10 minutes for the shuttle to drive to the stop I need to get off on, whenever it showed up which it did after maybe 2/3 mins. SO I sit breath a sign of relief, then the driver says "I have to use the bathroom, be right back."
Motherfucker!
It only took 5 mins. still got there sooner then if I had walked or even ran.
In the end I was a half hour late to my 50 min class. I actually had 3 between that and my next class, which was a lab. So I went home, got my books, ate lunch, and hung out for a while before I went back. The rest of the day was fine. And for the most part I've been enjoying my college experience, some of the shuttle buses leave me feeling a little queasy but eh.
And also my mom bought me a box of hot cocoa because she knew I had a bad morning.
But the bitch still made me make myself.
