Never again should I make fun of my boyfriend for making a two hour trip a four hour trip because the same thing happened to me. Well, not the same (because mine was not caused by me), but a two hour portion of a trip was made into a four hour portion. I can thank a fan-freaking-tastic traffic jam on I-65 for that one. Thanks to Bob Seger for recording “Old Time Rock and Roll” and to the random stranger who can only be described as lovely. Because traffic had to be redirected, we were stuck in ANOTHER traffic jam, so we decided to turn around and get a map at a gas station and figure out a different way. While at the gas station, the aforementioned very lovely random stranger gave us directions around the traffic AND led us there AND made sure we knew exactly which way to go AND then turned around and went in the direction in which he was originally going before he decided to embody the phrases “good samaritan” and “Southern gentleman” on the behalf of three very confused and road weary young ladies (AHEM).
Needless to say, I am relieved to be back at my parents’ house and very ready to do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING for the majority of break. I have a small to do list and a few projects I’ve decided to take on, but there’s pretty much nothing major to do. In all honesty, I think this is the most hard-earned spring break I have ever had, and I am freaking exhausted.
This break is definitely living up to its goal of “do absolutely nothing of worth.” The only thing notable that has happened is that I have a new pair of shoes, and I am in love with them. Now I need some new clothes to go with them … well, not need, but if it happened, I wouldn’t turn it down ;). What can I say? I’m a poor college student.
