it could have been a lot worse....

May 31, 2005 14:33

that's all I kept/keep hearing......

oh, wait, maybe I should tell you what happened....


went to school to take my english final.......pretty easy for the most part...deff. not honors level stuff....and even the "To Kill a Mockingbird" stuff I'm pretty sure I aced, and I'm not even finished reading it....anyways....had to b-s the essay, but it was all opinion stuff that I needed examples for....dumb....oh well....I'm pretty sure that I'll at the LEAST have a high b for the semester, so that's cool

exempted geometry (woohoo!) so I didn't have to stay at school.....it was nice.....

tried to find Taryn so I could drive her and I over to her house and watch LOST, but that failed, so I decided I'd just drive over there myself and hope she walked home on her own.....pulling out I saw her, but didn't know for sure if it was her and couldn't get her attention cause she was far away, but that's ok........go to her house and hung out till she got there 5 minutes later.........oh, and Taryn? yeah....your sister answered the door and I SERIOUSLY thought it was you....and then thought it was a younger sister cause I noticed she was a little short.....LOL........I was so confused....

anyways....Taryn got there....we watched LOST.....whoa.....so good, and yet so unfulfilling....LOL.....I loved it, but none of my questions were answered.....eh well......still good :-)......and OH MY GOSH!! the raft people!! AHHHHHH......and Aaron....AHA.....so funny......oh, and I love how they keep avoiding "God".....ooh...it's destiny......it's fate.....but it's not God....of course not....*rolls eyes*

so I had to go after we were done cause I had a hair appointment at 1:30 and wasn't quite sure how to get there........I left and I had to turn left onto Spring Creek.........across two lanes of traffic........finally I thought I saw an opening and I thought I could go....

I went, he swerved to get out of the way, didn't get out of the way quick enough, hit my back left side, wheel is bent in

*deep breath*

yeah....scary....I started crying right away.....I had hit my elbow, but not even bad enough to get a bruise....really, it wasn't bad at all.....the other guy had tried slowing down, and I'm pretty sure if he hadn't, I could have gotten seriously hurt...but through him slowing down and swerving, I was fine.......I'm not even sure what I did to avoid...I dunno....anything......it was really quick....I got out as soon as I could and called my dad.......the other guy's car only had some dents and the paint scratched off from where it hit......so really, this accident wasn't too bad at all......there was a cop really near by though, so he came and helped and had us get our cars to the side of the road.....at this point I thought my car was driveable.....yeah...it wasn't......I got it as far as the curb though, so it was ok......it was bent in and my dad things the axle was broken......eh.....that cop wasn't the traffic cop though, but he called the one we needed, so it was ok..........

so I was waiting out there and this other guy's mom was there by then and she was really supportive......I can't tell you how many hugs I got from her today....she was really sweet though and seemed really concerned.....she wanted to make sure I knew it wasn't a problem though....that her son was fine and that no one got hurt and that the damage wasn't too bad....I could tell she was a christian too....she was really nice about everything.......

not sure who I was calling at this point...I think I was calling my dad about somehow getting the car towed....but as I was calling him, I saw Ms. B come from the parking lot that was right there (I was parked right outside of Guilford) and she pulled up behind me with a look on her face that said "Oh Tori...don't worry...it's ok...".....deffinate subtext....lol

she came right up to me and gave me a hug and I finished my call......more crying as I explained it to her, but she calmed me down, saying it was ok, checking to see if I was ok, and if the car was alright, seeing if my parents were coming and all that......I was still really shaken, but I have to say......THANK GOD FOR MS. B.....she was prolly the best one I talked to today that actually calmed me down.....she told me about an accident she had been in once, but made sure it made me laugh......she just talked with me and tried getting my mind off it and that was sooooo nice......Colleen at one point saw me out there and came running, but Ms. B stopped her and said I was fine....she save me from having to talk to anyone about it.....again...lol (nothing against you, Colleen...lol).......seriously....whenever I had to talk abou it again, or whenever someone else talked to me about it or even said "it could have been alot worse" I would start crying again and I would be all shaky and lightheaded....Ms. B knew exactly what to say to get my mind off it and everything............at one point she turns to me and goes "so, Tori...what's the buzz?" and that got us talking about the disciple interview and laughing about that.......everyone thought she was my mom....I think they were a little caught off gaurd when they heard she was my teacher....lol

my parents got there and my mom gave me this big hug...more shaky-ness...lol.....Ms. B explained that she came out of the school and saw me there alone so she came to stay with me till my parents got there........so nice...I love her :-)

so then there was all the legal stuff and everything and finally we got to go home...........*another deep breath*.....don't like talking about it, cause I don't want to start crying again (though I think I'll prolly be fine by this time tomorrow).........have to pay for a $75 ticket and I might have had to go to a four hour class, but I don't think I have to now (haha...when Ms. B heard I had to go to this class, she was like "you know what...don't worry...it's only 4 hours, it's really boring and you'll meet alot of..*ahem*..interesting people, but just think, if you ever have a need to act out an interesting character, just remember those people you met...".....lol

so...yeah........deffinately scary.........I was so freaked out.........but yay for Ms. B......I would have been a whole lot less calm if she didn't come......

*another deep breath*....ok...well, I'm gonna go watch something funny, and then study for Spanish and Chem Com finals....eh.....oh well.....I've got time.........ttyl :-)
