The drive back is around four hours, and since I don't have a car, some kind person has to take eight hours out of their day to chauffeur me to school, which is a pretty involved little trip. So generally I find some sort of alternative method of transportation. Since I've been expressly forbidden by multiple parties to ever try hitchhiking, I have instead discovered the MegaBus. It's amazing. For fifteen bucks I can snag a ride to Cincinnati, where I have college friends who will let me tag along. This means that all my dear parents have to do is take an hour or so and drive me downtown to the departure point.
I've done it a couple times now, but this time Mom and I forgot to print out the nice MapQuest directions, so we had to play it by ear, and ended up in a not-very-pretty area of downtown before figuring out where we actually should have been. And on the way out of our little detour, we ran across this completely EPIC intersection that consisted of maybe four different streets coming together and slanting off in random directions, usually one-way.. This of course meant that the stoplight was obnoxiously long, and pedestrians have field days at that sort of intersection.
This one group of kids walked by in tight black pants and t-shirts and multicolored Converses, (mind you, it was about eighty degrees at the time) and Mom was all O_O and I was like, "Look, emos! In their natural habitats!"
Which we both thought was insanely funny.
Then we parked in an area that was CLEARLY marked 'POLICE VEHICLES ONLY), except no one seemed to care, so we were good.
And all this was DURING rush hour, mind you. Yay random adventures.
