A travel agent, I am not

I have a problem. Ok, I have many problems, but this one involves booking plane tickets. For the 3rd time in my life I've managed to book a ticket wrong. The first time I actually booked a ticket in the opposite direction. I was trying to go from Yangon to Bangkok and I booked to leave Bangkok. The sad part was I didn't realize it until the day before I left and it was too late to change, so I had to buy an entirely new ticket.

The 2nd time was when Laura and I were going to Colombia for the month. We wanted to get travel insurance and after I booked my ticket I noticed that my insurance expired on December 26, that's weird, to expire in the middle of a trip... Well, somehow, I don't know how, I booked the ticket to return 2 weeks earlier than our plan. Luckily I caught that one right away and was able to change no problem.

Well just yesterday my sister and I were bickering about my ticket home. She kept telling my mom it was Sunday, when I kept saying Saturday. I've been talking to my parents to be at the airport on Saturday and I've been counting the days for my Saturday departure. Well, Mary kept insisting that they itinerary I sent her was for Sunday, so I looked it up and crap, it was. I went back to my email to the school (they book our flights home) and I put Saturday, June 16. Well June 16 is Sunday, so she just looked at the date and not the day I chose. DAMN. I was sooooo sad to see that date. A WHOLE 24 hours past the point that I've been planning on being here. I know what you are thinking... 24 hours, big deal. Well you don't understand how ready I am to get out of here. Everyone is leaving either Friday or Saturday so no one will be around and my apartment is basically empty now, never mind in 3 weeks! Twenty four hours is practically a life time (dramatic, I know).

What is wrong with me? Why can't I book a plane ticket. You'd think I'd be super good at it since I travel so much.
