I wouldn't consider myself a very Type A person, but I do like plans, and I like to stick to them.
Without typing out an entire boring rant, I'm just gonna sum it up pretty quick...
Today there was a soccer game and the tickets were pretty cheap. I wasn't planning on going, but eventually got talked into it because I thought it would be good to spend time with the other USAC kids. Well, the plan was to go from school to the ticket office at the stadium. The stadium is on the opposite side of the city of my house, so after buying tickets I needed to go home, get some homework done, then go to my dance class, and then to the soccer game.
Perfect, right? No. Well, instead of going straight to the stadium, we had to stop at 2 different people's apartments, go buy shirts for the game, go to 4 other gift shops, and then finally go to the stadium.
Mind you, I didn't know where the stadium was, or I wouldn't have wasted 5 hours of my life riding around the entire city on the metro.
So eventually, I'm pissed because the person I'm with who "knows" where we're going won't tell the rest of us how to get there and is bitching at me because I won't "relax". This person then continues to insult me and my relationships with both my family and my boyfriend.
As if this wasn't annoying enough, once we got to the stadium this person decided that the tickets were too expensive at the stadium and instead is going to buy their tickets online (even though they are from exactly the same place).
In the end, I bailed. I ran into another one of my friends and we went and got lunch.
However, it was frustrating and it wasted a day that could have been used for studying and catching up on my work. Eventually I got home (after my dance class).
Sigh - I have no faith in anyone here. I wish people were reliable and would just stick to the plan.
