The worst part about a trip is heading home. Especially when you have a twelve hour drive on one of the three travel-home-days. Especially when that twelve hour drive turns into a seventeen hour drive. Especially when that twelve-hour-turned-seventeen-hour drive takes you through a time change zone and you loose an hour.
But it wasn't all bad. Long drives across desolate highways make the perfect time to listen to books on tape. I used to listen to books on tape when I was little, but haven't done it in a long time. I wasn't sure I'd be able to focus on the story if I couldn't actually see the words, but it was surprisingly easy. The only downside was that I wasn't a huge fan of the readers. The girl who did Divergent was sort of monotone, and the guy who did The Maze Runner gave a black kid a southern white boy accent, a British boy some sort of Scottish/Australian/Irish misx (getting warmer), and an Asian guy an Indian/Mexican accent (and you lost me again). Still, I definitely recommend grabbing a big fat book that you've been wanting to read but haven't had the time for when getting ready for a long road trip. It helps keep you from going crazy.
