I may have a bit of a problem

I was assigned to write a paper comparing a modern movie to a fairy tale. I chose Pan's Labyrinth and Cinderella. The connections are all there, I have it all in my head... I'm doing good...


the bad part? I can't actually settle down and write it.. even know I came to the computer lab so that I wouldn't have as many distractions. Totally backfired. The Internet works better here. I'm more distracted then ever.

I still have to write a paper for my CRJ class on my ride along, I have an ART test on Thursday, the following Thursday I have an SOC test and a CRJ test.... and this paper due in my ENG class... yeah... I think it's safe to say I'm a bit overwhelmed right now... Lord knows I handle that well. (sense the sarcasm?)

most rediculously unbelievable day...

Oh my gosh...

So- my roommate, Becky, from FL is in town this weekend. She and her friend Emily decided to fly over for the Great American Beer Festival. We went to Hippie town this morning and toured the tea factory. Emily apparently really likes Meade so after the tea factory we went to the meadery. It was interesting, and the guy running the tour was pretty funny. All and all a good morning.

We got back to the hotel downtown at about 4:30 and I decided I should probably leave to go visit mom so they could get ready to go to the beer fest. Becky gave me her GPS for the trip. Thank God she did! I had barely gotten onto I-25 when my windshield wiper broke-- did I mention that it was pouring rain? No? Well it was... it was coming down so bad. I had to get off I-25 so I pulled off at the next exit. I tried to pull over on the side of the road, but seeing as how I couldn't see at all I ended up just pulling into a sidewalk and scraping up the underside of my car pretty good. Awesome.

Oh- but it gets better. I eventually get to a little parking lot and I stop to try and figure out if I can fix the car or if I'm going to need to call someone for help. I came to the conclusion that there was nothing I could do so I called mom, dad and chaelomen. Dad and chaelomen weren't in an area where they had any cell phone service so I tried to figure out a different way to get home (mom didn't know where I was so she couldn't come save me). I eventually remembered my friend Meagan lived downtown for a year so she'd probably know where I was, so I gave her a call. I told her where I was and she said, "Oh shit- yeah... I'm leaving right now." Seems I wasn't in the safest area.

While I was waiting for her a car pulled up next to me and a bunch of thug-ish looking guys piled out. They all just stared at me and the car for a few minutes and then went into the restaurant I was parked outside of. A few minutes later they came out holding a large amount of food, put the food in the car, and then stared at me for a while longer. Then they started to walk circles around my car!!! I was on the phone with Becky and the entire time I was freaking out. I don't know why, but eventually the guys all stopped and got back in their car and drove away. At this point I'm sufficiently freaked out, so I called Meagan to find out how far away she was. Turns out she only thought she knew where I was and she was now lost. We talked on the phone for a while and tried to help her find where I was. Eventually we decided that she should stop and I'd come to her. The rain had let up a bit so I figured I could drive as long as I didn't get on the freeway. We both kind of assumed she was only about 5-10 mins away from me... maybe just up the street but confused enough by stupid downtown driving that she should stop. We were wrong. It took me about 15 minutes to get to her and I did end up driving on I-70 the entire time. In the rain. With no windshield wipers. Thank God for the GPS! I am sure I'd still be lost if Becky hadn't loaned it to me tonight! I was pretty sure I was going to die tonight- either death by thugs or death by car accident due to inclement weather...

I'm pretty sure more happened... but I've been awake since 5:30 this morning and I'm very tired... I don't actually remember anymore... maybe I'll expand upon this tomorrow, but probably not. meh...

maybe I should drive slower...

so carolyn, frik, and the baby came up to see me today. We went out to dinner. Afterwards they came to my house and gave the baby a bath- I gave carolyn some shirts and pants... when it came time for them to leave I gave them directions and sent them on their way.... a few minutes later they called me. Not only were they lost, but they were lost in a pretty bad neighborhood in Evans... a not so nice city to begin with...

So I went to find them and show them where to get onto 85. Afterwards I'm driving home and I get pulled over! apparently I'm going 45 in a 25 zone... in my defence I'm never down that far south, so I really didn't know I was speeding...

no worries though- I got off with a warning... haha... suckas!
