mapquest has nothing on mary

my sister is what would happen if Lifetime: Television for Women ever gave directions. tomorrow i am picking her up at college to take her home for easter. this is how she told me to get there. unfortunately i'm not making any of this up.

"you take 460. then you come to the first light which has all the signs leading to the athletics complex. and you turn. at the first light, the one next to the football stadium (you can't miss the football stadium, it's very big), you turn left onto a road that i don't know the name of, but it's very obvious...wait, wait, wait, my roommate says it's spring road. and it's by the stadium. it's a very short road. you're then going to come up to the big round basketball colliseum and across the road from that is a parking lot. the basketball colliseum is on the left and the lot is on the right. no! wait! it's the other way around. the lot is on the left, and the colliseum is on the right. park in that lot. then my dorm is the big stone dorm building, but they're all big and stone, so just call me when you get here. oh, and stop for the pedestrians, cause they'll walk out in front of your car. that's the rule. they tell you at orientation, 'walk in front of cars, they'll stop'."

and this is the same person who received a full academic scholarship and will graduate in three years?
