Got the car back!

Finally finally finally got the car back! V. excited. The car looks like I never killed the face of it. :) All shiny and new... (but how much did it cost to get that face lift? Idk...)

It has nearly been a month since I have driven the Honda and it felt weird for the first few minutes, but I got the hang of it eventually. But I def. learned some lessons from that accident:

• Don't ever park/brake so close to someone. When you park/brake behind them at the lights, make sure you can see their back tires without any obstruction. That gives you plenty of breathing room between the two cars.
• Don't drink/eat while driving!
• If you absolutely HAVE TO drink/eat/take notes/whatever... wait until you are at the lights and then put your car in Park. That way even if you hit the wrong pedal, your car won't go anywhere.
• Watch the road! At all times!

I think that makes for some good suggestions...

First Snow!

Yes indeed, for us living in Southeastern Wisconsin we have had our first snow! I walked out of the campus computer lab into the Southview building and there was the snow, coming down in fat flakes. It was not so cold and as to start shivering, so it was a nice day to be able to walk during a snow fall and not have your ears bitten off by the weather, you know what I mean? Its stopped now -- at 5:30ish -- but there is a substantial amount of snow on the ground. Not enough to build a snowman, or even a head of a snowman, but enough to appreciate the beauty. More snow tomorrow perhaps? I hope so! (With me safely inside, in front of a roaring fire, watching it fall.)

The Honda is still not back from the shop! It was supposed to be usable by Tuesday but NOPE still something wrong with it. The grill got clunked on its way to Wisconsin so they have to figure out how to fix it. Any day of the week fellas... (of course I caused the accident so I shouldn't be such a nag should I? But at the same time, you said Tuesday at the latest, why should my father and I be forced to wait another week?!)
