yesterday my battery broke down, cause i was being stupid and left my lights on the whole day and night before. i heard a new noise when i left my car the day before i just couldn't figure out what it was. it's a new car for me.
it didn't work with a jump, so i spent the whole day with a friend hauling that battery to a store, watching it be dead, getting a new battery, etc, etc. it was really one of those days type of days. there were even the crazy old dudes with tools handy that always show up on the sides of roads where girls have messed up cars. except this time they were my across the street neighbors so it was even better kinda.
it ruined my day of studying. but i just gave up. i went to my lab class. we have to work in teams now. i knew this was going to be interesting no matter what. one of the kids, this chubby red head with a bunch of shades of olive green clothes on and glasses wouldn't sit by us or talk to us for at least 20 minutes. before i would've thought wow what a stupid nerd asshole, just knows he's smart and wants to withhold any of his intelligence from us cause he thinks he's a fucking evil genius or whatever. but this day i thought, he's probably really nervous and doesn't have many friends. so we lasted the rest of the 3 hours with no eye contact and all worked on that lame fucking robot. one of the tas is really nice now, and one of my few school friends was in there working on other stuff, making me laugh, so i felt as good as one could feel as the only girl in an entire circuits lab.
i decided i would exercise. so i ran and watched an embarrassing reality show. i needed a favor from a friend, and she was stressed and in a position similar to my everyday life, and she came over and i tried to make her calm down and just go to sleep. i think i did the right thing. i've always thought work comes first but it can't come first always. we've both seen people burn out at record levels, drop dead, strokes, diseases created, all with stress at the root. we've experienced some of those things on the list ourselves.
so even though i bitch and moan about being lonely all the time i think it could be much worse. i have a lot of friends and bartenders and stray people and neighbors in my life that even when the wrong thing happens they show up at the right times. time's up time to do work
