Talk About Bad Luck!

Today my day started off with me leaving the house at 8:15am to go to my first aid course. On my way there I went over some train tracks and a bolt lodged into my passenger front tire. At first I thought my tire blew, but when I pulled over, I seen nothing wrong. So I continued to drive again and kept hearing this clunk, clunk noise, so I went to a gas station and then found the bolt. The guy at the gas station said not to worry about it and said I could get it fixed later on that evening. So I ended up being 5 minutes late for my class, which was a little embarassing. At 4pm when my class was over, I was driving home and I heard a noise under my van. It was the stupid bolt (I guess it dislodged itself) and within a minute my tire was flat. I pulled over to the side of the road, these 2 guys were right behind me a few cars back and they pulled over to help. Thank you Lord because I suck at changing tires and to top it off my spare was flat. I couldn't believe it, but the guys that were helping me happen to have a tire pump. They worked on my van for over a half hour which was so nice (it's too bad that I never got there names but I guess that doesn't really matter. All I know is today they were my angels in disguise). Anyways in the end I went to costco and got my tire fixed and then went home. It's been a long day and now I have 10 chapters to read before I go to class tomorrow. I know tomorrow has to be an easier day then today.

That really sucks. I would probably cry on the side of the road.It's nice to know that there are some helpful people out there.

That does suck. Aarrgghh! I hate days like those. Makes you glad that the day's over. I hope tomorrow goes better.
P.S. I tried calling you because I wanted to add Lilypie onto my site but could not figure out how. I thought that you'd probably know?

Is the first aid course for a pre-req for school? Do you start school in September? Getting excited yet?
