Why do people in South Austin not know North?
Last night I was volunteering. After I had eaten my plastic food dinner and all the kids were tucked away in their counseling session, I was sitting and talking with
two other volunteers who are UT freshmen, and my supervisor. Anyhow, so someone (and I can't remember which one) looked at me in all seriousness and said "Where's Round Rock?" I was like, "uhhh....where the new outlet mall and Ikea are," and they said "I know, I want to go to the Outlet Mall, but I don't know where Round Rock is" So I told them that it was North, and they asked where North was. I was like "?#!!@ - It's Freakin' NORTH!" So one of the other girls had to explain that if you get on I35 and go in the direction opposite of San Marcos you'll get to Round Rock. Everyone feel smarter for the fact that you actually know where Round Rock, and that mysterious "North" are.

Dumbos! Even when I was a southie, I knew how to get north!
Oh- and by the way everybody- STEPHANIE EATS PLASTIC MEAT!!!
NOOOO!!!! You weren't supposed to tell my meat secret!!
I'm sorry, there is no way of explaning that to make them sound any less stupid. North, the opposite of South. 1st graders know these things. I am seriously disturbed that these people are counseling kids. You're going to have to be extra good to make up for them :).
This person got into college?
I'm doing my best to make up for the people lacking directional intelligence. Hopefully she'll wisen up during her 4 years at UT.
One of the teachers, yeh the kind that have a college degree, at a previous school wanted to know why water forms on the outside of her iced tea glass????
Oh, maybe you could tell her it's south of Georgetown! Or, south of Salado!
