driving on the freeway

gak! suka suka suka.

argh!

I can't put off the inevitable. I had vacation time and i was thinking of whether i should drive 2.5 hours in the freeway and go home to my aunt. Note that i never ever drove in the freeway except for a short mile when i took my driver's license test.

And we are talking about 2.5 hours here.

So i woke up and told myself - it's now or never.

I woke up at 9 am and prepared breakfast - omelette with mozarella and parmesan cheese. PErfect. Got some decaffeinated coffee and presto. I was having the perfect meal. Then i talked quite lengthily with Big J and he taught me some stuff i should be dealing with.

Then i mustered enough courage to go and pack my bags and prepare to take on another fear - driving in the freeway.

HEck if i could jump off a plane, i could do anything.

I drove downtown to get me some caffeinated coffee. The coffee joint is known for having the best coffee in town, and i have to say it is better than starbucks.

So from there i took the long drive towards detroit. When i turned my car to enter the freeway and saw those big trucks coming, i thought, nakupo ito na. And i went and man those cars are fast, and even though the maximum speed limit was 70 mph, i found myself doing 80 and 90 mph (144 kph) because if i didn't i would fall behind their concept of "70 mph". IT was scary. Oh man, i couldn't relax initially - i don't mind the straight drives, it's the looking for exits that was so terrible.

GOsh.

Gosh. Grabe.

Grabe. My head still hurts
