Auto Mechanics 101

yeah, I must have failed that class because final exam was this morning and i not do so well. Here's the story,

I am on my way to drop off Elijah at Mike and Amber since amber most graciously agreed to watch elijah while i go to classes since tony had to work. I am on the highway two minutes and the car starts shaking. Hmm the road is bumpy here. Now the whole car is shaking and bouncing and vibrating. Oh maaaann. I get off the highway and pull off to a side road.

Tire is pretty much shredded.

I call tony, who doesnt answer, he is at work. Then i call amber, tell her whats happened and she says she will meet me where i am, which is still fairly close to my house. In the meantime I cant figure out this whole car jack thing so I call the roadsidfe assistance people who say they will be there soon. Yay! Elijah and i wait.

Amber gets there and we assess the situation and decide to wait in her car. The nice man comes, changes my tire, looks at my donut hesistantly and puts it on. Thank you mister! dont worry, i am not driving far on this.

We start off, but amber does not. Her battery died! Luckily, I have jumper cables, but we are both unsure how to attach these stupid things. She calls mike to guide us through it, but my car isnt starting hers.
Another nice man happens to stop and has a big diesel truck. We attach the cables to his more powerful truck and ambers car comes back to life.

Hooray! Then I just had to finish my paper, which i was planning to do in the normally 45mins extra i have before class starts, but today i make it just before class is over, i huff and puff through the door as class is letting out, put my paper on the table and hurry away to get to my next class.

Now i am sitting in that class, learning about smallpox. But i have to leave a little early in order to stop by the daycare and get an application for next semester. Here's hoping!
