It is time
I am back in school.
I drove out at the beginning of January. It was suprisingly pretty clear through the Gorge and over the pass, some snow drifts which made visibility near nill, but that was it. However I got just south of Pocatello around 10pm and I started hearing this helicopter noise. I ignored it for a bit, but as it persisted I slowed down and noticed that the noise got quieter I knew something was up. Or down. My right back tire went flat. Awesome. So I dug through my stuff. In the 7 degree weather I got my coat, found my flashlight, and started unloading all of my stuff out of the trunk and plopped it on the side of the highway. Then I called my dad and he talked me through how to change a flat. It’s pretty tricky holding a flashlight in your mouth and trying to get directions from a cell phone laying on the pavement at the same time. About 45 minutes later I had changed my first flat tire; threw everything in my trunk again and just sat in my car with the heat on as high as it would go. I called Phil and told him I was fine, and then I just started crying because my toes were frozen and it was excruciating.
That has kind of been the theme of my semester thus far. I think it will mellow out now. But it was a juggling extravaganza to get a job, keep up with homework, fill out papers to keep my license in February, get my job back at Outback in Idaho Falls, learn that my insurance company can’t cover me anymore, figure out how to buy insurance, keep up with homework, forget the tedious process of keeping my license and trading it off for explaining to my boss that I wont have my own transportation for a month & will need to be schuduled with people also commuting from Rexburg. sigh. It’s all pretyt much figured out now.
Plus my student loan is almost complete and I’ve decided that I’m getting a macbook pro with it. This computer is on its way out, and if I do my internship this summer, I’ll need it.
anyway. this and Facebook are a total time-suck so.. farewell.
