Day from .......

Today was a day to remember...but I'm gunna choose to forget it. I'll start with yesterday. The thing about Virginia winters is that they rarely get snow but ice storms rather. And yesterday, like most of the country Lynchburg got an ice storm, no big deal...until around 6:3o pm when our power went out in the house. After calling the power company they said that power would be restored by 10pm. Normally this wouldn't be too bad except for the fact that I had a TON of homework to do that I needed internet for and also for the fact that our house barely has heat when we have electricity, but when we have none there is less. So I called my wonderful friend April who let me come over and use her internet and sleep over...problem solved. An extra plus occured when later that evening liberty canceled classes before 10 am...this meant that I didn't have to get up and be in class by 7:40 am that I wouldn't have to be to school until 11:15..WONDERFUL! So I got my work done and went to sleep. So this morning when I was driving to school in awe of the beautiful ice on the trees and plants. While I was driving my roommate called telling me that we still didn't have power at 10:3o in the morning and that the power company was saying that it wouldn't be restored until February 1st. GREAT! That would be a difficulty but I can manage living out of a bag for a few days no big deal. So I went to my classes. As I got to my car in the pouring rain at 3:30 pm and turned the key, it wouldn't start. It made some noises but that was it. My friends April, Christel, and Cole were there and soooo helpful and I really appreciate it. So we jumped the car and nothing...did it again, nothing. Thankfully my mother insisted that I get AAA and thank God she did because I ended up having to get my car towed and thanks for AAA it's going to be free rather than 100 dollars. So the creepy tow guy comes 2 hours later to try my battery and tell me that the tow truck was an hour away. So I left my key with him and hopefully (please pray) he will take it to the car shop and they will find out what is wrong. So that was my day...and as of right now I am sitting in my sisters dorm, trying to relax and do some homework since I have a quiz due, a profile to write tomorrow, and a test this weekend, and another one next Weds. I have no transportation and no power. This situation is very humbling right now because everything I do and everywhere I go depends on someone elses kindness. Thank God that I have great friends who are more than willing to offer me rides and their homes. I am so greatful for that.


To say the least at times like these its tough being on my own, all I want is my mommy and daddy here to take care of everything for me! But it's all part of growing up right?
