Well anyway. last week, and I'm guessing it was thursday, yeah it was thursday...so thursday i go to work, head out to cypress, everything is normal. Get into town 2 hours before class starts so i decide to run to target to grab a couple things...actually not gonna lie, i went cause i wanted this chex mix that was like "cheerio status" and i couldn't find them anywhere! so i thought i'd look. I went, found the product. and then jump back in the car, and i have yet an hour and 30 minutes to get to class. I start driving MAYBE 1 mintue, and the clutch or we soon found out later the shift gear/stick went out! ! ! [ oh man, homegirl is like are you serious right now ] and for those of you who DON'T know, i aparently am the worst person with cars, they all hate me...or its just the used cars that hate me because i always seem to be the lucky one who gets to drive them when their like 12 years old, and have like 20 miles of life left. ANYWAY..so the cluth/shift gear goes out. im screwed. BTW, im like 5 miles from campus. i didnt know the bus system around town, and thought, heck, [started doing the math in my head] i thought heck, if i can run a mile in like 8 miles...and maybe it takes me about 10 mintues to walk a mile, it SHOULD take me about 50-60 mintues to get to class, if im on it! Oh, i was ON IT. [ :
i booked it. grabed my things, couldnt deal with the car, HAD to get to class. it was my pilot class, and i SURE wasn't about to miss good info on a broken you know what!
so i made it in time for class ...spent 3 hours in class...and thought, hmm, its 9 oclock, and i gotta walk back. SURE did walk back, ran into 3 randombies, but just kept movin' along...by this time im on the phone with my mom, told her to call AAA, cause aparently my phone wasnt getting service where i was at..and or around the 5th time i tried calling, it just kept ringing or beeping, so i said screw it. screw it indeed was what they were sayin' as well. As 45 mintues pass by i eventually reach back at the car, and let me just tell you, only being a mile away from the beach, it was FREEZING. like seriously, that day. it just had to be cold!? so i get back to the car, mom calls back saying...welp lucky you, the entire AAA system of Southern California has been shut down, the computer system crashed and they have to take down everyones information manually. MANUALLY. were they serious!? no back up system!? nothing!? i mean it already takes them forever as it is to reach a broken down car when the system IS up and running. ayi dios.
so they told us about an hour...oh yeah that hour did swoosh on by, so did the second hour..and so did the third hour. and by this time, all the lights in the target parking lot went out. The food joints that were near, sure did look good but were closed, and it was FREEZING. By this time, i was so aggravated, i tried to get the car back up and running by running on the first gear around the parking lot, and thought hmm, if i can get it to go 30 mph, maybe ill just take the streets all the wayy home! [ : i seriously did consider it, because i couldnt stand waiting much long! espeically since i had work at 6am the next day, and it was already 12am and i wasnt going to miss work because of other work related reasons.
so by the time it was 12:30 i had called AAA 8 different times, all in a consecutive order, and manually gave them my card information/name information/location information all 8 times to completely different people. i was playing the game, thinking if i put in 8 different orders for a tow truck, maybe ill get one faster. haha. that SURE didn't happen. it was now at the point in the night where i told my mom, THERE NEVER GONNA COME, im freezing, tired, just COME GET ME! so she did. [ : what a mom! with a baby in the back seat and all. [ Thanks mom! ] so by this time its about 1:30 am, and mom finally shows up... (she booked it from Hemet to cypress in about an hour! ) oh yah, and guess who else shows up...2 tow trucks from AAA...im like are you serious?!!? ayii ya ya....longest night everrrr! Story shorted out a little.... towed the car back to Hemet, had to get it fixed the very next dayy, i went to work that day with 1 hour of sleep, felt like death and managed to get through the next day.
OH MAN, it was WEDNESDAY when all that happened!! see, i knew the timing didnt seem right.
cause then the following day which was thursday, i had an interiew at Long Beach Airport...and i was tired and so beat..yata yata...and then had class that same night which was a thursdayy, then went home and had to work a double on friday! uhhh. hahaha. so basically thats what went down last week wednesday/thursday/friday ish. MORE went down actually. but that will just have to be put into your brains with a C chip or another blogg i writskeez up tonight. [ :
so yesterday was the 11th: some good things came about:
1. i got a double paycheck with the same check amount! [ one went into my direct deposit, one came in as a check] ill proley end up getting a little check now this week, cause they paid me twice... haha.
2. i finally REFOUND refound my W2 so now i can finish my taxes! [ :
3. had come licorice
4. Aced my First Private Pilot Test, with ZERO wrong.
5. got at least 6 hours of sleep! [ that never happens ]
6. found some 99 cent cans of ARNOLD PALMERS! [ thats half lemonade, half tea ] mmm.
okay, it was an o k a y dayy for Cc. But when you technically have like 3 hours to yourself a dayy, you cannot NOT get excited over the little things! [ :
Day in and Day out. Its always something new, never give up, and strive for the good in all bad, and your goals for that day will have been accomplished in whole in good understanding.
