The Pink Shoe Diaries

it's official: i have telekinetic powers.

everyday, in order to get to school, i drive over the morrissey blvd. bridge. every so often, the bridge is up so a boat can get through, and each time this happens i have to wait 5 minutes all the while thinking: "i wish it would just get stuck and then i couldn't get to school." well today my wish actually came true, and the bridge DID get stuck and i WAS stuck on the exit 14 off-ramp for almost 40 minutes. It turns out that this is not fun though, and actually kind of boring. The highlight was, as it usually is in this situation, was when people took matters into their own hands. One man was singlehandedly directing all of morrissey blvd across the median strip, while another was on horn patrol (meaning every time someone honked their horn he would yell "F*ckin Jesus! Stop with the f*ckin horn!!". Once I finally got out of there, by some stealth maneuvering and some tear on the bottom of my non-SUV car, I was then stuck in the intersection traffic mess resulting from the bridge being closed but no one knowing about it. All in all though, it was better than being in African Studies.
