Lost in Ann Arbor!

Hey,

I've kept you a little out of the loop lately and I'm sorry. Let's start with the earliest adventure, shall we?

Well, not last Thursday but the one before that, I went to my SAT tutoring class in downtown Ann Arbor...and then later I had to go to my college essay class at my school, which is on the East side of Ann Arbor. So, I had to go from the West to the East. Well...I got to the tutoring place alright, but when it ended, I realized that I needed gas. My light had just gone on. But of course I'm complete poop at directions so my mom's trying to tell me how to get to the nearest gas station with little luck. So I told her I'd just "wing it." Um, let me tell you how THAT went.

FIRST, I'm trying to get to the gas station that my mom told me to go to. THEN I find another one that I pass like 3 times before I find the entrance. And its a SMALL station. Barely room for four cars. So after I'm done there, I'm trying to find Main St. which is not hard to do because it runs all the way down Ann Arbor. I find it, but I can't turn left onto it. So I go straight into places I've never seen before. Somehow, I end up by Blimpy Burger, which I have NO idea where that is. Then I magically end up on South University which is on the OTHER SIDE OF TOWN!!! Luckily that runs into State, but then I think I'm going the wrong way so I turn around. But I'm actually going the right way, so I go on Main then Liberty. But THEN I turn the wrong way on that, so I have to turn around. So I go into the parking structure to ask my how to get to school (because the road I normally take is closed). He tells me and I have no problems there. But THEN when I get to Geddes, an enormous oversized truck with a trailer blocks BOTH lanes so I have to wait for about five minutes. THEN I get to school. But then I get lost again going down town trying to get back to the University. Only buses can turn the way I want to turn so I have to go this roundabout way again. It's not as bad as the previous excursion, but its still pretty bad.

By the time I get home, I'm exhausted...
