A Funny Parking Story

Written 2007-02-13

Let me tell you, my loyal reader, about my fun filled exciting experience with the Naperville Central parking lot today. Like most stories, it requires some history.

It all started last Wednesday. Baseball in the morning (Blah). I got to school, and I couldn't find my parking spot. The salt and the darkness made it so bad that I just guessed, and ended up one spot too far over. I was late for baseball because I took so long.

So jetset to today. I woke up super early so I wouldn't be late for baseball. I pull into the parking lot....AND IT'S FULL OF SNOW! As soon as my wheels hit the powder, I just remember the back of my car fishtailing, and spinning out of control (It left some super sweet skid marks). So I venture over to the spot in which I think might be somewhere near mine. I have to stop and get out of the car to sweep away the snow to see the numbers and the lines (Keep in mind that I am the only one in the parking lot). So after about 15 minutes, I actually find my spot, and make a perfect entrance. Then I look at the clock, and I say "Gemini Christmas". I run in like a freshman with my backpack, and guess what........I'M LATE!

And to add a footnote, I was also the last one to leave the parking lot. It's been some rough times between me and spot 779 lately. I might try waking up at 3:00 am to catch my spot off guard.
