I had it all planned out. My exam was at 11:30 this morning. It takes me a solid hour to get to class. I’d leave at ten and have that extra half hour to study at school with Geoff right before walking in to take my final. But…
10:02am: I left my house. Down high street, down main street, onto route 61.
10:07am: I realize I forgot my cell phone at home. Damn it.
10:11am: Traffic stopped.
Well, I figure something’s gone on, but we’ll be moving again in just a few.
10:20am: My car still hadn’t moved an inch and my left arm was starting to get sun burned. I drank my old Pepsi and warm bottled water in less than a minute.
10:22am: Thoroughly bored. The cops weren’t letting any cars through and they weren’t letting anyone turn around.
10:25am: With nothing left to do I tried to study while I broiling myself in the sun. Not recommended.
10:26am: Whoo! Astronomy is just as much (scarcastic) fun in the 97 degree heat as it is in an air conditioned room!
10:30am: After my skin turned a few shades of red I moved to the passengers side to the car to relax and study some more.
10:37am: It first hits me that I might be late to my final exam. I take the most depressing picture I can manage while still being trapped inside my car.
10:45am: I lost my mind at 10:45.
With what little conscious I had left I tried amusing myself by taking pictures of my car mirrors.
10:50am: Traffic started moving again but my mind was still so far gone that I couldn’t stop taking pictures of my car’s mirrors.
Somehow I made it to Stillman Hall today in forty minutes. I had no idea how the hell that was possible.
Back to the grind-- now I'm back to studying for Art History. Wish me luck! And please kiddies, stay away from the astronomy.
