Today, I had to stay late at school to work on a project. This morning, when I got to school, there weren't many parking spaces, so I had to park on the top level. Before I went to work on my project that afternoon, I figured it would be a good idea to drop off some of my books to make the five-flight climb to my car easier that night. Unfortunately, the elevator wasn't working, so I had to climb the stairs with my heavy backpack after carrying it around all day. I got to my car and put my books up as I had planned. Then, I called my dad and started going back down the stairs. I got down to about halfway between the first and second floors when he said, "Why don't you just move your car?" I stopped for a second and thought about it. That was such a good idea. It made so much sense. Did I seriously just go all the way up to the fifth level and not realize that there were almost no cars up there anymore? And, more importantly, did I just come all the way back down without seeing all of the parking spaces on the lower levels? After I thought about it for a second, I decided now would be a better time to climb the stairs again than at night, so back I went to move my car to the second level. Sometimes you just get so caught up in what you're doing that you completely miss the obvious.
