Car Fiasco

Tuesday night got pretty 'ugly' outside. It was artic conditions-freezing cold, windy, and snowy. I was okay with just staying home for once, doing some homework, and drinking some hot tea. I was planning on trying to get to school a little early so I could at least run through some warm-ups on my trumpet before my 8am class (crazy, I know). So I wake up the next morning and go out to start my car and guess what? Yup, it wouldn't start. I called a couple people and found someone that was willing to crawl out of bed and attempt to help me. We tried jumping my car but that didn't work. Since I know nothing about cars, I knew I could do nothing. My car was also parked in a 90-minute zone which didn't help with the stress level of the situation, but I knew I had to get to school because I had a quiz in my first class and a jam-packed rest of the day. So we start driving and what do I do? Spill coffee on my pants! Since I don't like the feeling of just wetting my pants, I had my friend take me back to my apartment to change. I finally get to class to catch the last few minutes. The rest of the day was crazy too, my fullest day of classes, not to mention a make-up trumpet lesson and a jazz sectional in my only free hour. Four o'clock finally rolled around when my class finally ended, then I got a call that my grandparents were in town. So, I caught a ride into town and had dinner with my parents, grandparents, and two aunts. It's always great to see them! Especially when not expected. :) After dinner, back out to school for jazz band. By time that was over, I felt completely exhausted. It was one of those days I knew I was going to have eventually, where you feel like life's spiraling out of control and you're flying threw space with nothing to grab onto. I tried to do some homework while I waited for a ride but I couldn't really focus. I finally made it home a couple hours later and didn't even know what to do with myself! I felt like a mess. Then, guess what happened? My wonderful neighbor had the perfect remedy-wine! I even had a thought while I was at school that I could use a glass of wine. Not a bottle, not 'drink 'till you can't feel feelings anymore,' just one glass! And that's just what I did, had a glass of wine and relaxed with a couple friends. Even though I "should've" been doing homework or "should've" been sleeping, I feel like that time was more needed than anything, especially the friends. :) Thursday, though I was a bit tired, I felt reenergized and refreshed, a complete turnaround. Thank you friends (and wine!)!
