Journal Entry #13: 1/13/10

Well today was a long day indeed. Let's start from the top.

I woke up today a bit earlier than was necessary. I wanted to throw together a collection of all (well most) of my classic GameBoy, Gameboy Color, and GameBoy Advance games to have some fun with a friend of mine that has the same gap between the same classes I have on Wednesdays. On my way to school, I noticed my "Engine Service Needed" light came on.

My friend came ill prepared for the classic portable gaming, but it all worked out. We did some portable gaming for about an hour after Math, then headed out to CiCi's pizza because I was ill prepared for lunch and dinner (and since I wouldn't be going home until 1:30 AM, I wanted something that would hold me over). After we were done, we checked out the Arcade and played some games but not all the machines where working right. We also stopped at the toy dispensers and picked up some good old fashioned 25 cent and 50 cent toys. Then with our new toys, we headed back to school and sat around for a couple more hours doing nothing. Finally we decided it was time to get to the building our next class is held in. Here's where the day turned from okay, to not so good. Turns out that my car wouldn't start. The key just fit kind of loosely in the ignition switch, so my battery was on, but I couldn't get the car to start or turn off. Luckily it was the time of day that my Dad was close from getting off of work and he works right across the street from the school building I was at (it's a technology area, and quite the school of science so what do you expect?). My Dad was able to come over and take a look at the car. He couldn't do anything to fix it then, but after he talked with someone he works with, it may be an easy fix that can be done tomorrow. I had to bum a ride off my friend to our next class.

While I was in class, my Dad drove home, made dinner, fed our pets, and had time to come back with some tools so we could disconnect the battery. After all this, my Dad gave me a ride to work, and after being at work for about an hour or so, he dropped his car off for me to drive home.

Lucky for me I got off of work early also, and got home in time to catch up on my blogs. Tomorrow I only have one class, so I'll get all my homework done then and hopefully have some fun too.

Sleep well my car. Hope you are well and still there tomorrow.
