So… I have yet again gotten too busy to update any recently, or in a while I suppose it would be better to say….

I’ve been trying to focus as much as I can to do all my school stuff and pass these classes and so far it’s been going well. We’re in the middle of finals right now, so it won’t be long to see how everything ends up.backgammon free casino money free craps game play free black jack craps video poker strategy play black jack online how to win video poker casino game online uk best casino online casino secure online gambling jackpot casino online casino black jack learn to play craps how to win at video poker craps online blackjack casino game online casino betting free on line video poker casino games no download casino online gambling casino play free casino slots video poker machine bonus video poker free on line slots double bonus video poker free video poker games free casinos roulette online craps rules free on line casino rules of craps online casino free money blackjack 21 internet casino how to play craps free casino game download fortunelounge online casino free casino download free casino card game free roulette game free casino play no deposit free money casino internet casino online I’m finished with finals now, so now it’s just the waiting game for grades. All-in-all I think I did really well in my classes. It was tough, but that’s life. Sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do right?

Well in about 1 week it will be Clemson’s May Graduation, which I will be working as one of the people that tells the graduates when to stand and where to sit. The best part about it is that Thursday night some of us are going to see Star Trek in IMAX at Mall of Georgia, which means that I won’t be getting back in until like 2am, then getting up at 6am for graduation stuffs, then getting up at 6am on Saturday to go to the beach for a week.

Anyways, that’s about all for my random post… I’ll be back later, gonna go relax for now

For Spring Break, Whitney and I decided that we were going to go down to Florida to visit my parents, hang out at the beaches, and relax. At about 6:40 we decided to stop to fill the car with gas a go to Starbucks. About 4 Hours left in the trip, 5 hours with a dinner stop. After I got back on highway I did what most people do, accelerate to the speed of traffic and I proceeded to move into the middle lane and continue on…

So now, let me paint a picture for you…
I’m surrounded by cars. The left lane is going about 5 mph faster than I am, the right lane about 5 mph slower, and I’m going somewhere between 70 and 80mph… all SUVs or cars.

Well about 5 minutes after getting back onto the road, the SUV infront of me runs over a piece of plywood and his back wheels throw it into the air… The best I can describe what I saw to you for the brief 5 seconds it was in the air before contacting my car is by showing you this:

Yeah, imagine Batman flying at you… horrifying, I know!

When the plywood hit, it was a few inches off the ground, standing up, and measuring around 2 1/2 ft tall, and 6/12 – 7ft wide. I even didn’t have time to hit my breaks before it hit though I might have, had the car in front of me  done something like, i dunno, hit his breaks upon seeing the possibility of hitting a GIANT PIECE OF WOOD in the road…

So I’ve hit the plywood, or it hit me, still trying to figure out which… and it disintegrates for the most part, except for what you will see in a bit. The cars behind me all hit their brakes to avoid any debris themselves which gave me a good opening to get off the interstate and check the damage, and no one stops for us, not even the car that ran over the plywood.

I pull over onto the side of the road and make sure Whitney is ok, then I get out and check the car. This is what I find:

Passenger side

Grill and Passenger Headlight

So I call FHP, my parents, and my insurance. Deal with all of that and end up one exit down the road to wait for my parents to come pick us up Pretty much end of story.

Bad news: The obvious is that my car is not drivable and has to be fixed. Other than the obvious body work, my radiator is busted. Anything else we will find out about sometime this week. So I’ll be without my car until the Summer sometime.
Good news: No one was hurt, Insurance is covering it.
