Journeys to Newark.

SO on Friday I went to Newark to get drug tested by my Probation officer for the first time. Let me start by saying that Google maps fucking blows, I don't want to sound like I'm picking on Google because I'm not. I love Google but Maps fucking blows. It took me through Paterson to take me to the parkway which is partially my fault because if I knew I was going to the parkway I would have taken the way I know to get there from school and not the fucking Paterson route. Anyways I soon realized I was lost and I could feel my head getting hot like I was about to Hulk out in my car, normally I wouldn't mind getting lost but I had to get to my probation officer before she went home. It would look really bad if I didn't show up for my first piss test. So I pulled over for directions and finally made it to the parkway where I hit some standard bullshit NJ parkway traffic. Once I got off the parkway I made my way towards Newark where I hit a little bit more traffic, then I was inside the glamorous city of Newark and I almost got lost again because Google Maps doesn't realize that the Prudential Center exists and so I tried going down a street that doesn't exist anymore, luckily I'm the MacGyver of directions and so I made it to my probation officers building but had to find parking. I parked a block away but didn't have any quarters so I took a risk and didn't pay.
My P.O. is pretty cool, she is very nice and I told her I was a huge Devils fan so she said I could schedule my appointments around games that I have tickets to so that I didn't have to go to Newark when and make it inconvenient for myself.
So I passed my drug test with flying colors and headed back to my car. I didn't have a ticket on my car but when I got there I realized I never actually locked my car. I'm kind of a badass.
All in all the day wasn't THAT bad I went back to school and drank which was nice but I woke up the next day and was very sick and had to miss Andrew's shin dig which sucked.
