Freshman Uses Mapquest For Directions To Class

After failing a recent Chemistry exam, Freshman student Angela Lemmons decided it was finally about time to attend her Chemistry 002 discussion section of the course. Of course, the discussion is not required to attend and does not take official attendance but TA's always offer insightful advice on how to solve the most difficult and strenuous of chemistry problems. Some may also offer advice related to chemistry such as how to make your own moonshine, but that is another story altogether.

Lemmons, a freshman in the College of Health Sciences and a Cobeen resident, was able to look up the time and place of her section using checkmarq. However, when the location of the class was given as 'Emory Clark Hall' she became quite confused.

"I had never heard of that building. I was wondering if it was even on campus. I thought maybe checkmarq was playing an April fools joke on me," explained Lemmons.

Well, turns out that this was no joke and Lemmons was able to take the problem into her own hands. She pulled up mapquest.com on her internet browser and began filling out where she lived (Cobeen Hall) and then typed in Emory Clark Hall as her destination and looked at the directions. The directions were given as follows:

RIGHT out of Cobeen Hall onto 11th street sidewalk (aka The Wiggle). Proceed across Wisconsin Avenue and MERGE on 94-East towards Chicago.

EXIT at 6th/National and make LEFT going NORTH on 6th Street.

RIGHT at La Perla restaurant. Enjoy pitchers of Margaritas.

RIGHT from exit of La Perla onto National Avenue heading WEST

RIGHT onto Miller Park Way heading NORTH. Take tours of Miller Park and Miller Brewery.

EXIT at State St/Martin Drive exit and make RIGHT on 46th Street and LEFT onto State Street heading EAST

LEFT on 27th Street heading NORTH. Watch for gang members.

RIGHT on Fond du Lac Avenue heading SOUTHEAST.

RIGHT on 17th Street heading SOUTH.

LEFT onto sidewalk that goes between the Rec Center and Carmel Hall. Cross 16th street and Emory Clark Hall is to the right of Schroeder Complex.



Lemmons decided that the trip was ultimately fun but decided maybe Mapquest is not as reliable as one would think because the walk to class ultimately took 6 days. She is currently brainstorming for a new way to get to class.
