As B bears to the right to get on the Pike, instead of staying to her left, Rt. 90E, she bears to her right, Rt. 90W. It wasn't until she reached the tolls to get onto 90W that she realized she was going the opposite way and would never reach Boston! (Worcester, yes. Boston, no.)
Once she recognized the situation, she said out loud to herself, "OH NO! What am I doing?? Calm down B just take a ticket and do a U-turn somewhere."
So, B tried to remain calm as she took a ticket from the toll machine and proceeded to get onto Rt. 90W. B quickly realized that while 90E tends to be zip-zip-zoom right around 4:45p.m., 90W is anything but zip-zip-zoom at that time.
So now B is moving at a snail's pace, watching the minutes tick by on her dashboard clock, wondering when that bridge by the State Police Barracks is going to come up and give her the opportunity to go up and around so that she can change directions.
Phew, she sees it, takes it, and now heads in the right direction!

Not all is perfect, though, as she pulls up to the toll attendant and tries to explain what just occurred. After several minutes, B is finally able to go along her merry way and get to school.
At 6:40 p.m., B looks at the clock and thinks, "wow this class has flown by! I can't believe it is already 7:40!" (7:40 being the time B's class is suppose to get out.) However, the professor still continues to talk and carry on the lecture, even moving to a new topic and a new case. B is not really sure why he could possibly be starting anything new, after all, in B's mind her next class is starting in 10 minutes!
Agitated, B texts L (who happened to be sick in bed) and tells her what is going on. L replies that B will probably have to wait, after all, the class doesn't end until 7:50! B could have sworn it ended at 7:40, but either way-- it didn't really matter she shouldn't be starting a new case at this point in time. So of course B texts L her arguments as to why the professor should not be starting a new case and how she is going to be late for her next class.
B begins to pack up everything (mind you it is only 6:45 PM and B still has approximately 55 minutes to one hour left in class) and sends a text to L letting her know that B was going to leave early so that she didn't miss her next class.
L's reply was simply, "B you're going to have to wait, there is still plently of time."
B completely confused by this text - plenty of time?! Five minutes is not plently of time!! - she decides to look at her digitial clock on her cell phone.
6:48 PM. Shoot!
B sent another text to L: OMG! I thought it was 7:48 PM not 6:48!!
B then spent the rest of the class hoping no one else would notice her mishap. Unfortunately, that did not happen. Right after her class ended her neighbor turned to her and said "You checked out of class at like 6:45....bahhahahaha!"
Luckily, she was able to get in and leave without incident for her last class of the night.
