I am ignoring the fact that I missed my flight back to FL the day before, putting me a few hours behind schedule.
I am ignoring the fact that I locked myself of my apartment the night before, causing me to awkwardly walk around my building until someone turned off a light, so I knocked on her window knowing that she was awake.
Those things never happened.
This is about what happened after I crammed my life in to my Pontiac G6.
And hit the road.
