fun on the freeway

So... I had to run an errand today, I looked up the address and used google maps for directions. Sounds simple, right? I hop on my bike, I go to Carrer Marina, but I miss my turn onto Gran Via, which if you don't know is a very big street- not exactly easy to maneuver back onto. I tried to go around but all the damn streets are one-way when you need to get somewhere! I ended up getting back onto Gran Via eventually, but I was too far ahead of my destination so I had to turn around again. Before I could turn around I find myself entering the freeway. Bollocks! I had to take the damn freeway until the first exit which was all the way at the end of Diagonal (another major street), at Diagonal-Mar. So essentially I went extremely far out of my way, for nothing because by the time I got back to the city center, it was 7pm and the store was closed. Tomorrow I am going to metro it after class and not take any more chances- I hate driving to unfamiliar places at night because the street signs are on the sides of buildings, and not lit up.. they are extremely difficult to read during the day, and even more so at night. Anyway, it's 3:15am, gotta get some sleep before my re-scheduled exam in the morning, yippee!
