Over winter break I had an appointment at the dentist's that I was late for.
I was walking down Harvard Street, a very busy street with four lanes of traffic, when I saw that the green line train I needed to catch, which was on the other side of the street, was about to leave.
so
i ran into traffic in an attempt to cross the street, but only made it halfway: the traffic in the other direction was too much. rather then stand and wait, i figured i should get closer to the train so, with traffic rushing by in both directions I proceded to sprint down the double yellow line in an attempt to catch the train. Right before I reached the intersection I needed to get to, the train left.
so
not wanting to try to run through a busy intersection when there wasn't even a train to catch, I stopped short.
did i mention that this was winter break?
the street was icey as hell and I was unable to stop properly, (keep in mind I'd been running full speed). my legs flew out from under me and I landed on my ass with traffic coming at me in three directions.
with the exception of the chris fazio hot tub bash, it was probably the high point of my winter break.
