Running

Today I had sports class. I was really excited because I was pretty sure we were going to be unicycling again. I have a lunch break before sports, so I went to the supermarket with some friends and then we sat in the library and ate our lunches, talked, and looked at magazines for a little while. When it was time to go to class, I gathered my things and walked outside to the old sports building. There were people waiting outside, but none of them were in my class, and none of my friends from the library were in my class. I waited around for a little while, but no one came. I called a girl who is in the same class as me, but she didn't answer.
After a while, I decided to go back to the library and ask my friends if they had any idea where my class might be. They didn't. So I just went home.
I figured I should least get a little bit of sport in since I didn't have class, and I'm not going to volleyball on Thursday (It's my host mom's birthday). I decided to go running through the part of our village that I know the best. I started running, but ran out of familiar territory way before I was ready to turn back. I ran in a couple circles around the block and then I simply started taking random turns and not really paying attention to where I was going. Just going.
After about 20 mins of "just going" I looked around from intersections and street signs to know where I was. I had no clue, but it's really hard to get really lost. I had been running uphill, so I simply turned around and started running downhill (Which is SO much easier). By the time I reached flat ground again, I knew where I was and headed home.
Excited to see my accomplishments, I got out my map to look for where I had ended up running. After about 5 solid minutes of me blankly staring at the map, my host mom came over and pointed out where we live. That made things a lot easier.
The map was very disappointing though. It made my exhilarating run seem like nothing when it was all layed out like that, but nonetheless, it was good.
