Still Breathin'... Right?
After much thought...
Here's the update since I've been back in school. And, I say, I don't think I have much to report on.
Today was hell.
I got hit by a car around 11am on my bike....
I was 5 minutes late to the class I was going to....
My MP3 Player didn't want to stop playing music today.....
I missed another day to work out......
And there's probably something else in there.
So, yeah, I'm riding to my 11am class, and as I'm approaching one of the busiest intersections on campus, I kinda stood there for a while, no real opportunity to cross the street. After about 5 minutes, one car making a turn onto the road I was crossing stopped in the middle of the street to let me ride across (very kind act, I do believe.)
WELL, there was a car on that road, turning left. As I started across the street, she decided to hit the gas and GO.
You can imagine the rest.
I didn't go flying. I didn't even fall really. What happened though was the bumper of the small SUV hit my hip and knocked me to the left. Instanteous reaction stuck out my left leg, which caught me before I fell. Vehicle kinda pushed on me a little bit, and I managed to move to the left. All this prevented me from falling on the left side of my body.
So once I stand back up, the driver decideds to give ME the death stare and start cussing me out.
Not happenin'.
I get up and stand my ground. "you should've looked ALL over instead of starting to drive without lookin' in the crosswalk first" was one of my lines.
My luck got better when I saw the cop coming towards us. TURNS OUT he saw the whole thing evolve. He cleared the intersection and got us off to a small parking lot. Being late to class, I just wanted to go. So, being understanding, he took down my information, and told me that the police force would be in contact with me on an update. And as I started off to class, I could hear scratches of the conversation to the driver. And it sounded like she was getting what was coming her way.....
Employ the rest of the list from above, and that was my day.
My bright spot was getting home today and getting a call from Mark. I just had to cry... I've been having horrible days since early last week. Money problems, CAR problems, dealing with friends, life.... and this was just too much. He's suppose to be coming up here this weekend. It won't be until Thanksgiving before I'll see him again. It's interesting to think that we've only been together for almost 4 months.... as boyfriends. Because, it feels so much longer.
My life, besides all the shit? Uneventful. Nothing really is going on. I'm in school, and that's OK. you take out all the bullshit and it's all OK. Probably a reason I didn't write any LJ entries. Felt like there was nothing coming out of my fingers.
I'll try to make it a more regular thing. But, for tonight, I NEED sleep. Class at 9:30am. And, I gotta have a voice for that one.
Until next time,
