After leaving home two weeks ago, I was SO excited to be spending 2 weeks in Boone without any travel! Don't get me wrong, I had SO much fun on all my trips but it is super hard traveling 4 weekends in a row, especially with a super busy schedule!
Sadly, after going to Whole Foods before leaving town my poor baby got in a fight with a huge pole in the parking deck, and the pole won :( It was one of those things where I have NO idea how it happened except to think I was looking behind my car (trying not to hit other cars) and was not looking in front. Clearly not seeing that I was missing the turn by a long shot.
A woman walking by after the accident said "If it makes you feel any better, I did the same thing with my company car a few weeks ago!" While it didn't exactly make me feel better, it made me look around and see that most ALL of the huge pole/boulders had car paint, dents, and scratches on them. Needless to say, I will not be going back in the Whole Foods parking deck. Phil taped it up enough so that I could drive it home & get in checked out in the morning.
While I've been able to drive a rental car the last 2 weeks, I'm sad to say insurance totaled my baby :( It is still drivable though so we are waiting to hear back from an adjuster to see if it can still be fixed. *sigh*
In other news, I wrapped up my summer semester this week!!!! It has been a fun and BUSY summer! I ended up completing 99 clinical clock hours and two 3 hour classes. I am finally past the halfway point of grad school with only ONE MORE semester of classes! Can I get an hallelujah!?
Finally, since my practicum ended last week and this week only consisted of a few meetings and night classes, I was able to sub for a lead teacher at the child development center I have worked at all throughout college. It was a great experience and I enjoyed being able to love on those babies all week!! However, a stomach bug started going around the center on Thursday and I got it last night :( I was all packed and ready to leave for my family's beach trip this morning and woke up, super sick, in the middle of last night. Such is the life of a child care worker. I rested all day today & hopefully I will be back in business tomorrow! I can't believe I got sick on the first day of BOTH of my two week summer breaks. Here's to hoping the rest of my break is full of fun and not sickness!
