Bandaids, anyone?
08.15.05 (10:30 pm) [edit]I had a great day . . . after an icky morning. My car wouldn't start this morning and it was the first day of my internship. So I tried to get it to start, but alas, no luck. Finally I went back to my room to do research about what was wrong. Later I talked to my parents and they helped me figure out it was probably the battery, not the alternator or starter that needed to be fixed.
So I borrowed a friend's car, jumped my car and Chuck and I went around the city comparing prices of batteries. They ranged from 79.99 to the price I paid (50.00) yay! Plus they checked it for free and let us borrow tools. Then we hung out at the Tea Garden which rocked. I recommend the Tazo or Taro shake - it was very yummy!
Then I had a job interview that went very well and then I arranged part of the Northern Light office (heavy lifting, etc.) Then Chuck and I went rollerblading for eight miles (I wanted to see if I could make it to the place where I had applied for a job, and it was pretty easy - it is only about four miles one way).
But I fell twice and got some minor scrapes. So I am now going to look for some bandaids!

Your blog is being ornery and won't let me comment.
So were the people that you are doing the internship cool about your car trouble?
Sucks that you had car trouble, and on your first day too. At least it didn't do that while you were traveling!

Yeah, I am soooooo glad my car decided to cooperate until I got here! It was totally a God thing. As for my internship, I go in tomorrow morning.

I see you linked my "dramatic life". Does this mean you think I'm a drama queen? ;)

Wow, you always seem to have an adventure of some sort
