Almost A Breakdown

This weekend I went home, kind of. And I can honestly say, I really didn't want to leave partially because I really wasn't home for very long, and partially because my bed back home is really comfortable, and I don't want to admit it, but I've been a little homesick. Now, that's not the reason for the title all together, because I know I will go home very soon. 

The breakdown almost happened while I was driving back to HPU. First and foremost, I was leaving a little later than I usually do so the metroplex was a little dark. Then to make it a little bit worse, my GPS told me to go directions I hadn't usually gone before and sent me on a toll road, and that freaked me out because I had no coins in the front of my car. (luckily it was the electronic toll so I didn't have to pay, THANKS PARENTS!) So I was freaking out so when I saw a sign that said free exit, I took it even though I technically wasn't supposed to leave the turnpike yet. Then to make it even better, I was in the far left lane and needed to get in the right lane to get on to I30, an 18 wheeler had to get right beside me so I couldn't make it to the exit I needed. Then I had to drive around some a creepy looking area of Fort Worth to try and get on I30 and I was very close to the breakdown. A portion of me was thinking, "Just turn back, it's only going to get darker on the roads, and freak you out even more" then the other part of me was thinking, "if you go back then you just wasted quite a bit of gas, and then you have to wake up even earlier to get to your 8am class". Needless to say I continued driving, and did not turn back home. 

I wish I could say that was the end of my adventurous drive but it wasn't, however I didn't almost breakdown and cry again. I did however, pass by about a billion emt firetruck suburban type things in Weatherford, have my mind wandering to where I was going to somehow get pulled over and get a giant ticket (even though people were passing me), and then what freaked me out most of all: I ran over roadkill! I am grateful that it was already roadkill, however it freaked me out, because I was looking at the car to my right that was turning and needed to get new lights (The back blinker was spazzing out) and all of a sudden I see the lump of dead animal in my lane. 

Anyways, I almost had a minor breakdown, however I am good. I am back in my dorm safe and sound, and have to disect Roscoe the Rat tomorrow.... (not looking forward to that at all)
