Interesting Week

This week has been a dozy! Due to the bad weather, I was in a hotel all weekend and went to my first class of the Spring 2010 semester from there. I was a bit late and walked into a class that was is full swing. I grabbed a seat and started trying to catch up. The professor was talking about math problems. I suck at math and was not pleased. Plus, I could not for the life of me figure out what the stuff had to do with the subject I was taking: geology.

It was only at the end of class that I discovered there had been a schedule conflict and that was a statistics class! I then ended up haunting the science building for the next hour until my professor returned to his office. It turned out that the statistics class was in the wrong room. So I didn't miss anything. My next class was a few hours later, called HST 480Fashion and Gender, but it is mainly about the history and production of textiles. That is the class for me!

I have another large break between the textiles class and my next class, sociology. It sounds like that is going to be an interesting class. The Professor started off by showing a clip from the movie The Matrix, where Neo takes the red pill, and said we chose the red pill in deciding to take the class.

That was my last class for that day. I have the geology class Monday, Wednesday and Friday, the textiles class Monday and Wednesday and sociology on Monday. I have another class HST 428 on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I have had the professor who teaches it, Dr. Palmer, before. He is pretty cool and tries to make it interesting.

I got through class and was going to meet up with my dad. My birthday was last week and we were going to go to A.C. Moore and buy my birthday present, an electric ball-winder. I was driving on 5th avenue, and had the green light. I proceeded through the light and ended up being T-boned in the driver's side door by a car that had run the red light. We were both shook up, and she claimed that I had been the one who ran the light. There were no witnesses that came forward, so our insurance companies will have to sort things out.

I was lucky that I was driving the truck. The other woman, who is about my age, was driving a much lower vehicle. If I had been in a smaller car, or she had been in a larger one, I could have been hurt badly. As it turned out, I spent several hours in a neck brace in St. Mary's ER.

Also, my truck is probably totalled. It looked like the frame is bent. It is a good thing I got the refund from my tuition yesterday, because I may have to buy a new vehicle. Right now, I am playing musical cars with my mom and grandmother.
