Frustrated? Give GPS a Try!

My apologies for the lack of activity. I've been quite busy over the last week with exams and such, which brings me to explain some of my weekend excursions. On Saturday I took the SAT, a reasoning test that is used in the college admissions process. As any student can tell you, they're hell. It's a combination of math, reading and writing, and an essay. I'm starting to think that actually getting to the testing center was more of a challenge than actually taking the test. Being the fool who never has any idea where he is, I was lost in a relatively short amount of time. After a frustrating twenty minutes, I arrived at my destination. I was wishing I had some type of GPS device, ironic considering I write about them. GTX offers some very promising GPS devices, if you're interested. But I'm digressing.

After the five or so hours of mental work-out, I decided to meet my parents for lunch - who doesn't like free grub? I somehow managed to find my way there, but getting back home is a story in itself. I took the highway, only to find that I passed the correct exit. Next, in my stupidity, I took the exit leading downtown. The downtown of this city happened to house a labyrinth of winding streets. I managed to get onto a main street and tried to find some street that was familiar to me. I managed to pass by possible routes to my house three times until figuring it out. Thirty minutes later, I was home. The moral of this story? If you are horrible with finding your way around (like me), it might be smart to give GPS a try. I could of saved a lot of time and green, which had to be given-up to the swear jar.
