winter = ruining my car
today was probably the worst day in a while. i worked 3-11 last night, came home around 15 after and was like fuck studying for my anatomy practical which is tomorrow at 8 am, i'll set my alarm for 6 am and study and get there early and review. so i sleep, and my alarm doesn't go off. it's 7:31. i freak out. i run downstairs to start the car. it wont start. i try atleast 10 times shouting obscenities, but this doesn't assist in starting my car. i freak out. i grab my mom's keys, luckily who was home today, and start her car. i leave and she has no gas. i freak out. i stop to put $5, book it to school at 7:47 and make it there at 8:05. i take the god forsaken exam, pray i did alright and leave.
i get home to try starting it again and it doesn't work. when my dad comes home we have to put it in neurtal and push it into the garage. we put a heater under it and quilts over the hood because we were told it wasn't the battery, which i think i need one anyway because since i've had it we never changed it, but that the gas line was frozen. so my mom got dry gas to put in my tank, so i did this, but it didn't because i had 3/4 of a tank left and your supposed to do it before you fill up so that it prevents it from freezing before it gets in the tank. so basically putting it on top of frozen gas in a frozen gas line did shit. so after trying all night with the heaters and blankets, still no luck. i have class tomorrow and my hair to be done appointment. i have to figure something out. the only way we could get it to a mechanic would be to tow it. luckily this is my weekend off and 2 of my 3 classes on friday have been cancelled, so maybe i can get away with another snow day.
so yeah, it could be worse. it could be the engine. or transmission. or carborator, which might have water in it and be frozen too but as of now it is just a fuel line that we need to unfreeze and replace. i have no idea how much its going to cost and thinking about my car makes me not even want to get my hair colored and trimmed tomorrow. i'm thinking about sacrificing my cuteness for the holidays to pay for my car. *sigh*
i'm so unmotivated. i'm going to go fondle my sweaters...damn you snow miser...fucking up my shit...make a snowday for this friday too, mr 10 below.
