# 5, but still alive
This is the first time since my semester has started that I have actually had time to waste to right a blog. I'm having a hard time concentrating, though, cuz I'm in my school's computer lab and there is a large group of foreign exchange students in here and their instructor is yelling at them, telling them about how other people in the lab are working hard to get school assignments done in here and they are being distracting, yelling at one for looking at the internet instead of doing the assignment, and lecturing another about St. Louis is not a country... and I'm sitting here giggling. Glad she's not my instructor.
Anyways, exciting news with me. My beautiful, red truck that I have had for a little over a year is no longer with us. It was my first car that I had that wasn't made in the 80's or had over 200,000 miles on it ; it's year was 2001 and had a little over 56,000 miles when it happened. On Friday, I didn't have clinicals so I decided to run a lot of errands. After filling my tank, I decided to head to Jack-in-the-Box for lunch, but I never made it. A 72 year old lady hit me in a head-on collision. I spent the next 3-4 hrs. in the ER with a neck brace on, strapped to a board with oxygen tubes up my nose. Don't worry about me. I had fun joking around with the EMTs, doctors, and nurses (an EMT apologized cuz he had to feel my chest for pain and possible fractures, I told him it was no big deal, it's been a while since anyone has felt my chest). I'm okayish. I only have minor stuff: scratches on my neck, sore neck and back, bruised knee and butt. But my poor baby didn't make it. She's totaled. Which makes that #5. I have been in five car accidents where I have been hit and it wasn't my fault. They are, in order:
1. Rear-ended in funeral procession line by someone not even a part of it (she was trying to cut through). Damage: over $1000 in car repairs. The lady have a false info, but they tracked her down, and she claimed that I was driving slowly and was making frequent stops. Hmm, wonder why.
2. Hit a six-point buck. Not really my fault; it jumped in front of me.
3. Hit by a drunk driver. He took off, I chased him down and got his license #, but he skipped town.
4. Rear-ended on the highway. Car in front of me stopped, so I stopped, but the car behind me didn't.
5. Freakin' old lady hit me head on, cuz it's hard to see a red truck in the middle of the day, I guess.
Luckily I have never been seriously injured, but, man, it sucks!

"it's been a while since someone felt up my chest."
nuh-uh you didn't?! HEYYYY!!! (snap)
hahahahaha. you're strapped down with a neckbrace on and you're still hilarious.
Becky I want to hear you say that in person to hear what that sounds like.
Erin bad luck follows you what have you done in your life. How have you made the gods angry
Becky, one of the paramedics was cute, so since I couldn't "work" it, I had to use my sparkling wit ;)
Adam, well I did help out school by taking a sign that had fallen (you know how I am about taking signs), so that could be it. But I prefer to say that Satan has been trying to get rid of me for quite some time, but God still needs me here. It makes me feel better about myself...
Erin,
You need to read my blog on myspace about my food poisoning....all I will say is it involves lots of puking and hot firemen!
Sorry about your truck...good point though, you get a new one!
Hmmm, hot firemen... does life get any better than that...
We've already have put down a deposit for a new car. I can't wait to get it! It's beautiful. I'll give you a virtual tour of it when I get it.
