only i would do this

yesterday i had a new experience. I was driving home from school on my way to teach dance. I had injured my wrist earlier in the day and was trying to drive one handed. As I'm coming up the 5th west which turns into state street i notice alarmingly that my speedometer said 72 mph. "woah, slow down mare," i think. yet, as i slow down to 45 mph i notice everyone start passing me by. luckily, our house is close by. i had to grab some things before teaching and thought that when i got back in the car the malfunction would be gone. I get to university avenue before i see an unusual reading again. as i'm going down the hill toward the freeway it reads 75. "what? maybe it will stop when i get to the freeway" the on ramp i start out going about 60. at this point i'm wondering if my sense of speed is completely out of whack. did i have no clue that i was going so fast? it sure didn't feel like i was speeding. you should also know i have copophobia-i'm petrified of getting tickets. so from university parkway to the center street exit my heart rate is sky high. i was in the slow lane, as you can notice, with cars passing me by. i broke one hundred and concluded there must be a problem! i looked a little closer at the speedometer. if you can tell by the picture it says km/h. kilometers per hour. 1 kilometer is roughly .6 miles. apparently i had hit the button that converts them. never do that unless you want a heart attack while on the freeway.
