(no subject)
I'm on the rather crappy computer in the basement, so I'm going to make this quick in order to preserve my sanity.
Made it home alright yesterday, and that was no small task. A storm was supposed to hit at 3 in the afternoon yesterday... well, that's okay, I would be on the road for an hour already. So, I got to my exam at 1, kicked it's face in and got out around 1:45.
My Car. Was A. Block Of. ICE.
Most unnatural pausing of a sentance ever.
Seriously, I was having Empire Strikes Back visions looking at this thing. I briefly considered offering it to Jabba the Hutt. SOLID ICE.
Anyway, the short of the whole thing is, for all the bad things I may say about Arny from time to time, he at least got me home safe in some pretty horrible conditions. Like, even with my defrost on full, the my windshield wipers were useless against the encroaching ice on my windshield. For the whole 1:45 drive. My back window NEVER DEFROSTED ONCE.
But the really weird part? On the thruway, at the "Woo hoo! 3/4's there!" mark, I saw 7 accidents in the span of less than quarter of a mile. Keep in mind, that's seven individual accidents, so it was around 10 beat up, totalled and in some cases flipped cars.
Traffic collectively slowed at that point. But the best part? On the radio, "They Might Be Giants - Everybody Dies" was playing. Awesome.
So, anyway, I'm home now, but I don't have any time to unpack my stuff or anything. I'm hoping to get a day off early next week so I can get my room set back up and put my computer in. Until then, besides this entry, that's pretty much all there'll be of me. It's far too frustrating trying to accomplish anything on this computer.
