i forgot to blog about my drive home from hcc on saturday. all the exits on the highway that i needed were closed and i was forced to take the exit after all the ones that i knew how to get home from ... you would think that taking a u-turn and just backtracking would suffice but, alas, all the u-turns and turning lanes were closed because of construction. so, i had to only take left turns and after that, only rights ... it sucked. i ended up lost which always happens to me and i somehow found a street that i recognized. so, i called my mom to try and get directions and it was ok ... except that neither of us knew that i was on the north side of houston instead of the south side where i needed to be. eventually, i was in jersey city (i think) and i finally told my mom that i had to turn around. well, i ended up turning around and finding the feeder to beltway 8 that would lead straight to my house and so we hung up and i drove solo. but, then i got back to the original place where i got lost to start with ... the place where you can only turn left ... anyway, i had to stop at a sonic and i called my mom again except her line was busy (she left the phone off the hook) and so i sat there ... annoyed at myself ... i then remembered that i had a map in the trunk of my car and i ended up finding a way around all the construction.

it took me 2 hours to get home from hcc when it only took me 10 minutes to drive there ... this made me really mad about myself and restarted all the "i can't do anything right" thing that i am now dealing with.
