i had a great thankgiving and what great way to end a great weekend with my car not starting sunday night. that sucked. of course, being the sensitive person i am, i freak out. luckily, chris helped me through the whole thing..with some bad points too. he felt like i was taking out all my problems on him. i didn't mean to i was just stressed. i have a lot going on this week. yesterday i had to work and today i had a test in advertising and a presentation for my market research class.
so to make matters worse, we waited till i got off of work yesterday to jump start my car and i was upset because chris wanted me to wait till the next day to get a battery, yet i needed to get to school. so i went to Checker Auto Parts by myself last night and got a new battery and they installed it. something he said they wouldn't do for me. then i stay up really late trying to study for my test and practice my presentation. i wake up in the morning and to my surprise my CAR DOESN'T START. there is no way i could miss school, so i got the apt. manager to jump start my car and then i head off to school, knowing good and well that i'm gonna have to flag down whomever i can in order to start my car again for the rest of the day.
all went well, i got my test done and a 92% on the presentation (thank god!). during my break after class, i went to the parking lot and had to get ASU parking services to jump start my car and then i went to a Checker Auto Parts in Tempe, so that they could see what was wrong w/ my battery. i was so scared that i might have had to take it into a shop tommorow to get a new alternator, which chris and i got an estimate for this morning, which could go up to $300 or more. the guy that installed my battery last night put too many washers (these felt rings) between the battery and the tube things connected to it. so the guy reduced the washers to one and my car was fine. i'm not gonna get my hopes up though. after my night class i am going to try and start my car once again. i pray to God that it's going to be ok. i really don't have $300+ to fork out right now...let alone charge on my poor, high balance credit card.
ok. i guess i'm just lucky that i made it to school on a really important day and tried my best to stay focused. i think i A-ced my test!
man, all i really want right now is to pay off my credit cards!
