im back at school. the trip was ok.

a half hour into the trip, i was first in line to be cut off by two state troopers who proceeded to escort us for the next 5 miles going 15 mph while a clean up crew ahead cleared body parts of an obliterated deer that were strewn across the highway.
an hour into the trip, frustrated at going only 60 mph in the left lane, i chose to take a single lane "expressway" thinking express usually means fast, only to get stuck behind a truck going 50 mph.
an hour and a half into the trip, pedro the lion's control ends, insert the get up kid's something to write home about, and the cd player randomly stopps working.
3 hours into the trip, rain begins.
6 hours into the trip, i get stuck in a traffic jam with no apparent cause and go 4 miles in 40 minutes and the next 5 miles at an average speed of 45 mph.
8 hours into the trip, rain begins again.
keep in mind i had no music for all of this.
8 and a half hours into the trip, i tap the brakes and my passenger side airbag randomly deploys, scaring me half to death, and filling the car with a cloud of white powder causing me to not see anything for a few seconds until i quickly open up my window and air everything out.
i dont remember anything after 9 and a half hours due to drifting in and out of sleep. it really is amazing how well you can drive while sleeping.
i came back to school only to find that my paper didnt save to my disk correctly and now i am retyping it and staying up wayyyy too late.
it was an enjoyable fall break. i dont want to go back to school tomorrow.
