Dear World,
I once posted about how finals week generally sucks. Like, as a rule. Well....it continues...
As I've prepared for finals, having something go wrong was literally NOT on my mind. At all. Nonetheless, something went wrong.
Let me begin on Monday night. Monday was the day that we were given our finals, and preparation began. Monday night, my sister and her fiancee spent the night on their way home from Arkansas. They left yesterday morning at about 10. However, their car broke down somewhere in Colorado. They had to wait a few hours before they got towed to Durango, which was seriously back tracking their progress. Because they are still unmarried, my mother was going to go and stay the night with them in Durango. Well, my father decided to go as well. So they left as soon as my dad got home from work and headed to Durango. This left me with a lot of responsibility I wouldn't normally have during finals week. Babysitting a bunch of kids while studying? Not easy. Plus being in charge of running them to all the places they need to be. *deep breath* I wasn't excited.
This morning, my car broke down on the way to Seminary.
Yup. You read that correctly. I was driving, and we hit a red light that usually lasts about 3-5 minutes, so I was in the process of flipping a U-turn when my car stopped. It felt like it stalled, only REALLY bad, plus it's not a stick shift... The wheel kinda went thumpthumpthump. We spent about 10 minutes trying to get it going/pushing it out of the two lanes of traffic it was stuck in, until Georgi's mother came to save us. I later found out that she was sick, but had come anyway. What a sweetheart. I called Kolton and he tried to give advice. Then a very nice man stopped and he SOMEHOW got it up into the parking lot at 7 11. He said something about Pistons and brakes, and said it should be fine to drive. Stephanie was going to follow us to Seminary, but my car did the same thing as I tried to drive again. She had to drive Georgi and Nicholas to Seminary while Autumn and I waited in my HEATER-LESS car for twenty minutes. Basically, our car is still there. Sort of between the parking lots of Little Anitas and 7 11. With the hazard lights on, and I'm just sitting here hoping nobody breaks in. Nothing valuable is in it, but still. It's Big La Quanda, my car.
So, my parents are out of town because my sisters car broke down, and MY car broke down...We were out in the cold for over an hour. It was pretty horrid. Now neither Autumn or I have a way of getting to work tomorrow, and all of my siblings activities had to be canceled.
Bleck. Finals, bring it. I can take it.
