*puff* *huff*
huffing and puffing and wiping sweat off my brow and neck. I just got in from Wing Chun Kung Fu training. It was interesting. It was also my first time going. I learned a few things and I'm still interested even though I landed once pretty hard there at the end. Chris is a good teacher. Anyways, I think I will try to go back next week.
Other than that, I was in my first wreck. Wait, don't go panicking. I'm okay, the other driver is okay. Our cars are relatively okay.
Here's what happened...
I was in the Kroger parking lot (intersection of Main St. and Kirby) and I was waiting for a parking spot up ahead of me. Then I noticed movement off to the left and I turned my head to look. There was someone backing out right next to me. I laid on my horn to get thier attention, but she apparently didn't hear or see me. She just kept right on backing up. Take into account that she wasn't going very fast so the imapact wasn't that bad. I just was watching her get closer and I was honking, and she just kept coming...then my door crunched. It was a horrible sound and then she pulled forward so I could get out. I tested all the buttons and my window to make sure everything was still functional. We traded insurance information. Got everything sorte dout between her mother and my parents. Mom came and got me. Mom also was giving me the 3rd degree for going to Kroger that close to the Atrodome by myself. But she was mainly relieved that I was alright. Anyways, my car is at the body shop to see what they can do for it. Her insurance is going to pay for all the repairs once an appraiser comes to look at it. Hopefully I will get it back soon. The dent is so unsightly. It takes up most of the door panel. It's a pretty big dent. Argh. I can't even think about how injured my car looks drive-able though it may be. Over dramatizing here, I know, but it's my car and the dent is truly very big and deep. Anyways, it'll all be straightened out soon.
So that is what is up with me in the past couple of days. Oh, and my car being hit happened yesterday on Labor Day. This is how the rest of my weekend went...
Friday: Drove home and slept in my own bed with my own sweet (yet devilish) puppy.
Saturday: Victoria came over and we went shopping. We also went to see Underclassman. Very good movie. Bordered on R for violence and language but definitely not for sexual content. Said "hi" to my Aunt and Uncle because they were visiting for the weekend. Victoria spent the night at my dorm.
Sunday: We went and floated in the pool in my backyard. I got sunburned on my face because it was the only part exposed that hadn't been tanned yet. Went back to Rice to get my roommate, Daniela, so she could come eat dinner with my family. A great time was had by all. Victoria went home, and Daniela and I came back to Rice.
Monday: Slept REALLY REALLY late. Got up and dressed. Proceeded on to my fateful trip to Kroger. Mom picked me up. We dropped my car off at my parking lot. Mom took me to a different Kroger so that I could get my groceries (I didn't get them befoer to make my mom feel better) and I also got Jason's Deli for lunch/dinner. I hadn't eaten yet that day. In other words, it was a long somewhat traumatic day.
Thankyou all for being my support and being offended and ready to create some justice on my behalf. All my friends were shocked and very vocal about the injustice done to my car and me.
I love you all. I have homework, Cabinet meeting, and a shower calling my name. Adieu!
