Blueberry Hospital Popcorn

School was nothing spectacular.

After 5th lesson, Lexy and I run off to her and drive to the hospital. As we go, we realise neither of us have any change for the parking machine. We stop at a petrol tank and Lexy pulls into a parking space, I open the door and she screams "NO!" I shut the door. She then proceeds to park perfectly. Her reasoning being that it makes people think she's a good driver. I will point out, she is a good driver, and the parking thing, is kind of annoying. I go in to buy something to get a load of change. The man behind the counter looks at me apologetically and says:
"I have no change today." I was a little surprised. I swapped the £5 into change with a woman, and the £10 from the till (he magicked up some change).

We drive on towards the hospital. We stop at the traffic lights just outside it. Lexy points out, we're over the line. I look out the window. We weren't over the line, not really; we were sitting on top of the pedestrian crossing instead. Nice.

We realise we are almost an hour early and after a few laps round the parking lot, decide to drive to the cinema. It doesn't take long before we're not too sure which way we're going. I have a hunch, Lexy has another. We decide to go round twice, knowing we'd recognise the road once we see it. Or so I thought. Lexy changed lanes a little bit illegally and went down the road I'd had a hunch about.
"This is the wrong road."
She was not impressed. We missed 4 places we could have turned, before finding a really tiny round about that we turned around on. It felt like we were spinning on ourselves. Strange feeling to get in a car. We get to the cinema, both of us realising we don't normally come from this direction. Lexy parks perfectly before I am allowed to go in and buy a regular portion of salty popcorn. I get inside and order a large. I would be lying if I didn't call it a bucket.

I eat some of the popcorn and we start driving back to the hospital, using the route we both think is the one we normally use. It really wasn't. We got to the hospital and were directed to the alternative parking. The parking guy was given popcorn, we were given a parking space and Lexy was given a compliment.

I continued eating popcorn on the way home and by the time it was dinner, I had finished the entire bucket. Now, having finished the second draft of my personal statement I wish to end the day with comedy and an ice lolly to calm my throbbing mouth.
