This would be the 'kicker'... of a horrible, horrible week <:((
Monday, November 15, 2004
Wow. This was probably the worst week I've ever had... definitely the worst week of my university life.
Monday, worked like crazy finishing up my Poli Essay; Tuesday studied like crazy for my cpsc midterm; Wednesday wrote a probably mediocre midterm... finally got a decent night of sleep (prolly the best day of the week); Thursday got unlucky... cop pulls me over for not making a full stop at the stop sign on chancellor (went through it at 10km/h...) and gives me a 140 dollar ticket. Friday, worked on my polisci assignment and handed it in... at least the night was pretty fun...
And then Sunday:
Waiting on a green light to turn left from Oak Street to Park Drive. The light turns yellow, and two cars in the incoming lanes of traffic come to a stop. I start to angle my car left... by this time the light is already red. Then, Mr. Black Civic on the inside lane of incoming traffic decides to accelerate at this point of time instead of slow down.... so yah the rest isn't hard to figure out. He blows through the red light and smokes the driver side of my car.
The result is all this horrible, horrible damage that was inflicted on my poor, poor car:
ARRRRRRGH.... good as new a few hours before, now look at it !
And yah, in the third photo those are both of the airbags after they deployed....
Dumb thing punched me in the face and gave me a bloody nose...
Relatively Good News: I have the testimony of a witness who confirms that the black civic went through a red light. In other words, he's leaning towards my side, and to my knowledge, he's the only witness to the accident that offered to help.
Bad News: The guy who hit me is from Washington. This means 2 things - dealing with insurance will be a bit more complicated; and since he's from the States, theres a pretty good chance he's going to try to screw me over somehow. In all seriousness, he's way more likely to sue me for some personal injury than to apologize for running the red light and taking my car away from me. I'm not very happy about that.
Realistically: I'm really thankful that I wasn't hurt badly. I'm praying that the guy will be reasonable about the whole thing, and that he won't act like a jerk and bring this to court.
Hopefully things will work out for the best...
Yup yup... at the very least, this week has to be better than the last, right ?

Bleh.... Polisci essay due in a week, and compsci assignment / midterm on the side...
I really hate writing these huge, profound essays about thinkers of the past, and having to spend countless hours looking for examples from modern times just to fulfill the secondary sources requirements.
I thought I was on track with this essay last week... but the truth is that I slacked off too much... if I don't follow my plan for the week I'm gonna be working 24/7 from Friday to Monday. It takes me forever to do this sort of thing... and I haven't really been able to focus all that well this year...
It's frustrating to think that after 3 years I still can't totally focus on my work, even for a couple of days... I keep eating up time thinking about other things. I need to mature a lot more if i'm going to keep up a decent average this year and have a shot at Law. Still, I want to find a better balance this year... first year I took school too seriously... second year, not serious enough :p.
I know most of you guys are just as busy / even more busy than me.... so pray for me and I'll pray for you (^o^) !
