Near Death Experience
Tonite was the scariest night of my life. While driving back to Hofstra from home, Shaun, Guss, and I were in a horrific car accident. We were driving down the Eastern State Belt Parkway and it was raining and I was in the left lane. Suddenly, the car in front of me braked really hard for no apparent reason. I caught it, and started tapping my brakes, but it seemed useless as I wasn't slowing down nearly fast enough. I slammed my foot down and the brakes locked, sending us skidding forward at fast rate. We hit the car in front of us, and the airbags deployed. Seconds later, we were rear ended by the car behind us forcing the back windshield to shatter and glass flying at us. Luckily we were all fine, as well as the other 2 drivers. I was the only one from my car to go to the hospital, because glass flew into the back of my head and I had to get 3 staples in my scalp. Everyone there kept askin me if i was drinking, and the one nurse told me "it was Ok if i was as long as the cops don't find out". I was like OMG. I was crying so much after the accident...all i could think for the 3 seconds we were skidding was "I JUST KILLED SHAUN, I JUST KILLED SHAUN", so many sad and scary thoughts ran through my head afterwards, but everyone kept reminding me that the important thing is that everyone was fine. It could have been so much worse, and I will thank God every day for the rest of my life that it wasn't.
It just sucks a lot, I feel like I endangered the life of my best friend and another really great person, and I feel like I let my parents down, even though they were so supportive and only concerned with my health. I'm gonna miss my car a lot, it had so many issues but it was my first car! We've been through so much together, its been on almost every road trip with me! R.I.P. Penny!
My suitemates were so glad I was alright, like i got hugs from 3 of them, I was so pleasantly surprised.
So I really blame Hanson for not playing "Penny and Me" at their concert, it's as if they knew this would happen!
I've decided I'm gonna have T-shirts made that say "I SURVIVED THE BELT PARKWAY" haha
The doctor gave me 3 staples but he TOLD me was only giving me 2...he was like "click...click.CLICK!" i was like "THAT WAS 3!" hes like "That last one was on the house" lol jerk
I'm so not going to class tomm.
I have to make jokes about this, because the second I stop, the tears will start falling again. =(
I love you all and I'm so fortunate for the possibilities of tomorrow.
