Why is it that in one day so many things can go wrong and stress you out and then when you think about it, it is probably an answer to a prayer about something else that was totally stressing you out? Let me tell you about my day Thursday...Well I woke up around 7:00 only getting about 3 hours of sleep or so that night because I had been stressing out about a chemistry test I had to take (I am terrible in Chem but I have to take it for my major so I just stress about it constantly). I went to my two classes like normal; in between them I studied for my test of course. In my second class we were just supposed to be reviewing for our chem test but I was soo tired I could hardly pay attention so it was more like a waste of time. Then I had to drive my car over to this auto shop in orem where my cousin works cause he said he would take a look at my car for me cause it was having problems ( it is about 1:00 in the afternoon now). I had planned for this to only take about half an hour to do so I could go home study for 30 minutes and then take my test before I had to go to work at 3:30. Well on the way there my car exploded!! No there weren't any flames but yes the inside was no longer completely in tact and smoke, antifreeze, oil, and what ever else is inside a car was spewing out! I was on a small slope in a parking lot when my car completely stopped working ( I was lucky and it keept going long enough for me to almost completely get out of the way of traffic) so I had to push it backwards by myself to get it completely out of the road and when I finally got it to move I couldn't get it to stop because I wasn't behind the wheel and it almost ran right into somone's car which would have just been lovely! I am lucky I was able to run faster than the car was rolling and stop it from behind. I was then coverd...and I mean covered in what my car was gushing. Then I called my dad to get my cousin's number but he didn't have it so he told me to walk over to the auto shop (about 6 blocks away) and go get him. Well I had just taken my first step over there and the weather decided to pour cold rain on me so by the time I got there I am covered in car fluid, soaking wet, and freezing because of course I didn't have a jacket. I think that is the most attractive I have ever looked in my life! When I get there I find out my cousin isn't even working like my Uncle said he was! So I'm thinking great now they are gonna charge me for labor but I have no choice! So this guy says he'll go try and check out my car for me and see if he can fix it quick enough for me to get home and then he asks for the keys which of course then I realize are in fact locked in my car. Luckily mechanics know how to break into cars so it didn't take him too long to get them out. I waited around the shop for about an hour before they got my car over there and could tell me that they couldn't check out my car until it stopped vomiting stuff. So I waited about another hour and tried to get ahold of someone who could come get me and then I realized I had to be at work about five minutes ago. I called and explained what happened and they said it would be fine if I was late which would have been great except I had to take my chemistry test before five and that was now impossible! So then I start freaking out over that and the fact that I can't email my professor and see if I could take the test Friday. I was lucky enough that they let my use the computer there to email him but I wouldn't know if that was okay until at least 9:30 that night when I get off work. Then the mechanic said that I had a blown gasget along with a lot of other things and it would cost way over $1600 to fix it. I only payed $1500 for this car when I was 16 but I have put way more money into fixing it all the time over the past five years and there was no way I could afford to put anymore into it especially that amount all at once! Therefore that had to be the end of "Big Buella" (that's my cars name) I finally got someone who could come get me about yet another hour later and I was almost two hours late for work but all I could think about was how I was going to get around without a car the rest of my college career and what I was going to do about my test! I was so stressed!! As I was thinking about it I realized that I had been praying for help on my test the night before and how I didn't feel I knew the material was well as I should to get an okay grade; this incident must have been Heavenly Father's way of giving me more time to study although I don't think the added stress really helped! Oh and to top off the day, once I got home I tried to get online to submit all of my homework that was due and write on this blog but apparently my internet had it out for me and refused to work until today (yay!) therefore no post and zeros on three assignments for chemistry (of course)!! On the plus side I had that whole night to study I did get to take my test Friday afternoon so I that was a good thing!
Wow long post...sorry guys...
