Car Troubles and School
I seem to be updateing every other week lol...
Anyway, in the past two weeks this is what's happened:
Got a B on my hanging mobile project. Apparently I was too symmetrical, and I think the Prof was in a bad mood that week... odd. Also got a B on my drawing project because I was not imaginative enough. Oh well. It is what it is.
The more interesting updates are a series of events... Last weekend I came down with a cold that caused me to miss two days of work and was the reason I didn't get enough time to work on my project, which is why I got a B. I was upset that Dave wasn't allowed to come over Sunday afternoon and take care of me while I was sick, but I got to see him Monday, because I was feeling better. We ate lunch together ^_^ Tuesday, he came down with a completely different cold, so we didn't get together at all Tuesday. Wednesday I went over to his house after class to bring him the new Halo game I picked up for him. He was happy ^_^ Only got to stay for 2 hours cause his parents left for church. Tuesday, I was going to go over to his house for a few hours, but I was on my way and my car died... so dead. Dad had to come jump me off and then I followed him home as he drove my car. It ran great after that lol. Anyway, Thursday I had to pick up the kids after school. Friday I had work, so I had to pick them up at someone's house in Opelika. It was late, and we were on our way home, and I got pulled over for the first time in my life because one of my headlights was out. I cried lol. After the cop left, of course, I had to maintain some dignity. He let me off with a warning and told me to get that light fixed. Ok... My parents are out of town all weekend... I'd have to do it myself or something. Shouldn't be too hard, thoguh. Saturday we washed my car and I did homework all day. I was weeks behind in drawing. Bleh. Never got around to going to the autoparts store, though. Sunday I dropped the kids off at their church and I went to Lakeview and got presented as a member to the congregation ^_^ I'm a member now lol. Then picked the kids up and went to Wal Mart to get them to replace my headlight. Took 40 minutes because they had to take the battery out. So, I noticed my car had been runnign a little rough that day, so I decided to go the back way home so I wouldn't stall at any stops. The only bad thing was... I had to make a left turn onto a major highway... I stalled. By the grace of God, I think it was the 6th try that restarted my car AND there was an opening in traffic, so I zipped out and drove all the way home, praying the whole way. Now I need to go make sure my engine actually does have oil. I checked yesterday and it did... Then I have 4 more drawings to do before tomorrow morning.
Next week:
Tomorrow I'm meeting Dave after work for dinner ^_^ Then starting Tuesday night I'm spending the whole week at Daewen's house because her parents are going to be out of town and they don't like leaving her alone. So... that'll be nice ^_^
Anyway... life goes on, no matter what surprises it throws at you.
Off to check my oil...
