The Spanish Woman in the White Honda

This morning was not a good morning.  I left my house at approximately 7:32am, maybe a minute later than I normally do, no big deal, or so I thought.  Recently, the traffic leading into the high school has not been bad at all.  This morning there was traffic.  Why wouldn't there be?  Amanda Murphy is running late so of course there's traffic because the earth just conspires to ruin my day.  As I'm not so patiently waiting in traffic, I notice the white honda in front of me.  The driver doesn't seem to be as bold a driver as I am and that makes me nervous.  When it becomes their turn to pull into the drive way of the school, the hesitate and now I'm frustrated as it is already 7:38 and I only have two minutes to drive to my parking spot, park and run into the school before I am late for the 16th time this year and get a detention.  The car is literally going 4mph, I promise you I looked at my speedometer.  The white honda and I finally get to the front parking lot, but the driver goes the wrong way and and procedes to pull into the lane where my spot is.  As I go the RIGHT way, we pull into the lane head on and there the car is.  I honk out of frustration and through my hands in the air because they are blocking my spot. Just like the good samaritan I am, I move MY car to the side to let the car move but not without giving the passengers dirty looks and yelling at them in my own car.  This spanish woman and her daughter drive by and give ME dirty looks as if I am in the wrong.  EXCUSE ME LADY IT'S 7:40 me AND your daughter both need to be in school right now why don't you learn how to navigate a parking lot!!!!!!! Needless to say, I was late and I will most likely be recieving a detention anytime now.
