Oh my God, Beth. As I began to write this, ALL I could think of were the hundred or so times we’d leave a building, I’d turn one way, and I’d feel your hand on my shoulder as you redirected me with a bemused “how can you still get this wrong?” look on your face. It took me ages to realize that I cannot rotate images in space. Knowint the root problem makes it a bit better, but I’d still love to swap out that part of my brain.

I’m still laughing! I hadn’t checked in in a few days so I’m just reading this. I am, in fact, the college friend who has witnessed this on multiple occasions. :)

LOL. My brother and mom suffer the same affliction. Keith, confounding all stereotypes, stops andt asks directions. Mom insists her sense of direction isn’t bad; we once took 3 hours for a 40 minute trip. It IS that bad. I’m pretty good, and once I see a map I’m very good, but for some reason my mental map in Columbia is flipped. I think it might be because of spending all those years in Ann Arbor, where the highway was south of the U. Here it’s north and I always want to go exactly the wrong way.
