Frickin' Eh

Just keep swimming... that's what I told myself today while playing water polo in my Phy Ed class. I am constantly picked last for a team. That's always an ego boost and then I play goalie and spend half my time treading water and deflecting balls away from my glasses. For awhile today I played offense and scored a goal.. go me. Then I nearly drowned.

Let's see, what else is new? Oh yeah. I got hit by a car yesterday.

Yeah. For real.

Riding my bike down university. La la la. Didn't even have my ipod on so I was not distracted. The streets were packed and traffic was heavy and I was coming up on an intersection where a big blue SUV was waiting to merge. I saw from the flow of traffic that he wouldn't be able to turn, also he had a stop sign and I had the right of way, not to mention I am the pedestrian and DEF. have the right of way. More than that even, I made eye contact and got the "nod" -- you know the "go ahead." As I biked closer, he began to inch forward. I remember because I distinctly made an audible "ehhhhhhh" noise at this point. Just like that BAM- he gunned it out in front of me so that the hood of his SUV was directly lined up to take me down. I screamed SO LOUD. I heard tires screech and I yanked my wheel around to avoid hitting him face on.

....

Good cliffhanger huh?

Well amazingly, I avoided getting hit but his car did hit the back of my tire and almost caused me to fall over into the street. I got over to the other side of the street and got off my bike and just stood there talking to myself. "oh my god. I nearly died. That was so lame." I didn't even get to see my life flash before my eyes. I wish I had the license number because I'm pretty sure that qualifies as a hit and run and I feel traumatized and would like to seek monetary compensation in court.

Other than that life is okay. The weather is gorgeous. I really want to get out and take pictures of the leaves. Sadly I am stuck at work or school every waking moment. Maybe I can find some time and play in the snow when that falls.

It's weird-- professors are just starting to talk about classes for next semester. It's odd to think I won't be around for that. Odd....

In other news. I hate drama. I hate it.
