Update! (College, too much work, CAR CRASH)
14 years ago
General
watsupooHeya all, I know it's been a while, and I still haven't had the time to do any art, like I was supposed to :(
So, again, to the three I promised work to, if I get 4 or 5 days I can spend for myself, they'll all be done :)
So! I have a nasty update, I got into a little accident with the new car... >_>
It wasn't tooo bad though, here's the story;
About a week ago, coming back from work, and saw a little road I haven't been down before, so I figure "Well, I wanted a smoke before getting home anyways, so why not?) So I drive down the road, come to a dead end, and have a smoke. Afterwards, I set off, doing about 50 or 55 km/h (so not very fast), and it was a hard-packed gravel road. BUT! On this one, sharp corner it turns from hard-packed to really loose gravel. So guess what happened? I lost the rear wheels on the loose gravel, and counter-steered. Caught the slide perfectly, however, I'm driving a fwd, not a rwd... so the front wheels caught grip and the tail whipped round, going straight then I drove into a ditch and the car slid a bit into the stalk so it was perpendicular to the road.
Scared the shit out of me, that's for sure - my first accident, and because I got my license not that long ago, I didn't call the insurance company, and because it's legally not my car yet, didn't want mom + dad to have to pay a huge amount to insurance.
Besides, the amount it cost to repair the car, we would have paid for all of it anyway, so why bother them and pay more money, right?
Oooookay, that's not EVERYTHING, but it's the gist of what happened.
So, on to my work; been going really smoothly, except the fact that I haven't had time for art ;)... but that changes starting next week, only 8 hours a week, so one shift a week, on the weekends. So that's not bad, it'll help pay for gas to and from school. Speaking of school - going to be in the UT program at Fleming College, and assuming I get 70% at the end of the year, I'll be going into 2nd year Uni for Archaeology :3.
Back to the car - it's a really sexy first car, really! it's a 2003 Pontiac Grand Am SE1 with the 3.4L V6 in Burgundy (dark red).
I can't think of anything else... Oh! I start school on the 6th, with classes starting on the 7th... Philosophy, English, Psychology and sociology :/
anyyyyways :)
that was a little mixed, but there's an update for you all :)
