I dunno what happened today, but whatever it was, i guess im just grateful for a lot of things. It was after school that i was going on I96 East to focal point to drop off senior pics, when i got rear ended. Well i was about a mile back from the northville/novi exit and i was in the very left lane on the freeway and there was a SUV infront of me and a truck infront of it. So the truck wasnt even supposed to be in that lane and was going like 80 mph so it slammed on its breaks, and the SUV slammed on its breaks and i slammed on mine but the guy behind was like not even paying attention to the road and went flying at me going at about 75 mph. I felt this bump at first but then i hit my head against the back of the seat and then against the steering wheel, but i was wearing a seat belt. But still, my face is like all stupid bruised up again like last year. Which reminds me, it was like exactly one year ago when i almost had a fatal accident and totaled my old car. But this time was pretty close too when i think about it. When the guy behind me hit my car, he hit it at an angle i guess and went flying into the other lanes and almost got into a huge car pile up with 4 other cars if they didnt swirve around him. And i went flying into the shoulder of the freeway onto the cement and was going head on to the wall at like 65 mph. Luckily the car stopped like 2 inches away from the wall and i avoided having a head on collision with the median. Jesus Christ. Stupid accidents, this is way too messed up. I guess im just glad/grateful for everything, there have been some pretty close calls. We were like talking about death and stuff in psychology today too anyways, weird. But yeah just hopeful to be alive i guess, its really strange to think about it everyday but i guess no one really does until something like this happens. The car isnt really in bad condition im surprised, just a few scratches on the back bumper which can be replaced without a problem. Im kind of scared to drive now. Its just unbelieveable how you can be living your life one day and be worrying about stupid small things, and then the next day be gone just like that. I think i need some sleep.
Goodnight.
Nick.
