Ouch!
Tuesday I had a bike accident. Or should I say, I fell off my bike. I can blame it on a set of train tracks, but mostly it was my own fault. I was riding my bike along the sidewalk one minute, and then next I was on the ground. Apparently you are only supposed to cross train tracks perpendicularly. Of course I never realized this through a whole year biking to school and back in Arizona because everything is perpendicular in Arizona. Anyway, except for a few minors injuries, which I will now list because it gives me some weird satisfaction, I am fine. Small scrapes on my right wrist and shoulder. Scrapes on my left palm, only broke the skin in a few places. One big bruise on my right knee. Three small bruises on my right shin, plus a scratch I managed to inflict upon myself after arriving back at home. Two bruises on my left thigh. And the best part, two really nasty abrasions on top of a really nasty bruise on my left knee, which I have pictures of if you are interested! ;) I felt sore and bruised all over yesterday, but am doing much better today. The only pain is when I try to bend my left knee.
The only upside of this is that Sam was visiting me at the time and so I got to make him take care of me. But I had to return him to the airport yesterday, so now I am left to bandage my own wounds.
I still had an awesome time with Sam, hanging out doing nothing for 8 whole days! Unfortunately now I am left alone for 10 whole days with absolutely nothing to do before orientation starts. Oh, and I've run out of money. So I'm sure it will be a crappy week and a half, but I am looking forward to school starting.
