No research, no readings nothing.
Of course me, being the excellent procrastinator that I am, decided that I could, with superhuman strength and effort, finish a 2500 word essay in 8 hours. Hey I mean, you know, 4 hours for research, 4 hours for writing, what's the big deal right?
Self deception is a key characteristic of all great procrastinators.
Anyway, on my drive early that morning, I must say that I started out my day from pleasant-colgate-white-teeth-smiles to being black, tsunamithundermonster annoyed. And the reason for my annoyance stemmed from this girl who had no notion of Physical laws whatsoever.
No, really.
Look, a lot of people squirm when they hear the word 'Physics'. They think that 'Physics' is that class which is reserved for the top geniuses of the world. But the fact is, we all learn physics from the day that we were born.
I mean c'mon, when you were like, 5, and you had your head rammed by a swing, (yes, that's me) and you fall down and see stars in broad daylight, you're learning Physics. When you decide to sit next to your kindergarten crush and this big dirty bully who just can't stand to see you happy gives you one right in the kisser, (yes, that's me too) you're learning Physics. And you know those hollow cube toys with specific shapes on them, the ones you can only put in a specific sized object in a certain orientation? Yup, it's all Physics.
Which amazed because I couldn't fathom how this girl could not for the life of her figure out her physics.
Here's how it happened.
You see, close to my uni, there is a stretch of gravel road that is quite narrow. When it's empty, there's probably just enough room for 2 cars to travel side by side. Now, this stretch of gravel road is used, daily, as free parking spots. People come in as early as 7 in the morning, (trust me) and by 8 to 9 am, the entire stretch of the of the gravel road is filled left and right with free parkers leaving a single lane for you to drive on.
Now since I came early that morning, I intended to cash in on my early bird prize and claim my free parking, however I was mildly disappointed to have discovered that it was already completely full. So I drove to the end of the road, turned around, and drove out.
Here's where I started to get annoyed.
Halfway out the rather long, single lane gravel road, this idiot driver saw me coming out, yet refused to reverse to the closer exit which was on her side. Apparently she noticed a parking spot and tried to parallel park it.
I could only stare dumbfounded as she tried to park her car.
Perhaps a visual diagram would help you understand better.
Yes, and there I was, as idiot driver did her million point parallel parking, without successfully getting in. You'd think that after 5 minutes, you'd be embarrassed to be perhaps one of the most failed horrible drivers in the world, and something in me screamed at me to smash on my horn, but I was, while extremely annoyed, amused and interested at the same time to see how long she'd actually keep this up.
And so I sat completely stationary for 20 minutes. Nope, I kid you not, I was in the car (music turned off so I can observe this idiot) for TWENTY minutes just seeing her go reverse, forward, turn, reverse, forward, turn, reverse....
Eventually even the Universe could not stand the idiocy of this moron and decided that divine intervention was the best course of action. It manifested in the form of a guard who came to see why traffic was stalled and he signalled to her by putting his palms close apart and shaking his head, and r tardo, by some miracle understood that. So she (un)graciously reversed out of the single lane road.
Now I could spend another half hour commenting on how she couldn't even reverse on a straight road, swerving to her right and left, which sucked out another 10 minutes of my life for a 2 minute maneuver, but I shall blog about something else worth more my time.
Learn to drive/park moron.
