Hey, Thanks For Those Directions. They Didn't Help...

Have you ever been driving somewhere and gotten completely lost, so you decided to stop and ask for directions? If you have, did those directions help? Did they just get you even more lost? Have you ever wished that you could go back to that person later and thank them (or yell at them for their shitty, shitty directions) for helping you? Well, that happened today on my way back home.

Now for the long boring background story: today was the start of Thanksgiving break! So I packed up my car after my history exam and started the long trek back home. I never had a chance to eat lunch before I left, so I was starving by the time I made it to Corning.

If you know me at all, then you know that I'm not much of a fast-food person (I used to be a few years ago but one day it just clicked that that kind of stuff is disgusting and bad for you so I try to limit how much of it I actually eat), but there are three things that I will eat that's fast-food:

1. Wendy's chicken nuggets
2. Beef and Cheddars from Arby's
3. Whoppers from Burger King

I've never really been to Corning before, like I've been to the Corning Museum of Glass but that isn't in the actual city, so I was surprised to see a sign for Burger King when I was driving past (just a little side-note: it doesn't matter where you're driving, you can always find a McDonald's, but you can almost never find a Burger King, and I'd been craving a fake cheeseburger so that's why I was shocked) and so I decided to take a little detour into Corning. Because honestly, who wouldn't?

Well, that was a bad idea - going into Corning took me way off from where I was going and I had absolutely no idea how to get back to where I was supposed to go. So I asked one of the workers who was on a smoke-break outside of Burger King if she knew how to get back to 15N. Bad life decision - the directions she gave me sent me into the middle of west-bejesus and so I was going in the wrong direction for about 15 minutes, making me turn back. So I pretty much wasted a half hour for no reason. And now I just want to go back to the Burger King in Corning so I can tell that girl that she sent me in the wrong direction!

Now on a completely different topic: break! I'm really excited to be home for a week, but I don't get to relax the whole time. I have a ton of work to get done and I'm actually working this week at Gap, and I'm scheduled for over 40 hours. Sweet. But money is money, and who wouldn't want that type of paycheck just for one week?

I also brought my sneakers home with me and all of my running clothes so I can go running, but I realized when I was about halfway home that I forgot the Nike+ sensor (the one that you plug into your iPod) back at school on my desk. Rude. Now I'm going to go running and it won't even count on my Nike+ account. That's pretty unfair if you ask me!
