i almost got killed twice yesterday!! my friend gave me a lucky 4 leaf clover yesterday and i'm beginning to think it's not so lucky...

instance #1: so i'm driving to work saturday morning in the far right lane on the interstate. one car length in front of me in the next lane is this dirty black pickup truck. up one car length from it in the next lane over is this big 18 wheeler. so we're just truckin along, and all of the sudden, HUGE pieces of metal start flying at my car! it was coming from somewhere off the 18 wheeler! so the pickup truck decides to be stupid and swerve into my lane to avoid the shrapnel, therefore pushing me out of my lane and almost off the interstate while there are metal pieces that i cannot avoid b/c i'm too concerned with staying on the insterstate! a big piece hit my windsheild and other pieces just flew across my hood. the only damage tho is tiny scratches on my hood. ugh

instance #2: i'm driving (hmm...is there a pattern?) down northfield blvd @ pitts lane going away from campus with my friend megan ezell whom i haven't seen in forever and of course i'm not really paying attention when all of the sudden megan starts saying "don't hit the turkeys...DON'T HIT THE TURKEYS!" i look right in front of me and there is a mama turkey and like 8 little turkeys following behind her in a row (reminded me of the partridge family opening) just taking their grand 'ole time walking across this busy street! so i slam, i'm talking SLAM on my brakes so as not to hit them. i think i came within a few inches, but no harm done. and they didn't even flinch as my tires squealed and my horn blared. stupid turkeys.

fun eh? not really. i've been moving out of my apt this last week and tomorrow is my last day. 1pm tomorrow and i officially hand over the keys...sad day. i'm living at home now with all my stuff still packed and just sitting in the playroom until i can move into university courtyard...it feels weird to not have a place to go home to will all my stuff ya know? oh well...only 3 more weeks...
