For My Posterity

I had a talk with Cierra last time the family came up. She and Valerie were once again reprimanding me on my lack of blogging. I didn't think they were going to say anything to really encourage me to blog. However, I was wrong. Cierra said that my posterity would be grateful to her for making me blog. Now I feel guilted into it. So I guess I will occasionally update you on exciting events in my life.

Exciting event #1:
I got hit by a car! Allison, Hillary, and I were happily crossing the street (at a cross-walk mind you) one night when a car came from out of nowhere. I saw it when we first started crossing, but had no doubt in my mind that it would stop. So when I felt something slam into me causing me to roll on top of it, I of course screamed. I think the scream was more from surprise than anything, and I think it scared the drive more than me.

Thankfully I was able to walk away with only a few minor bruises, and a good story. I was definitely being watched over because he was going about 20, and I should have been reasonable hurt. The poor driver was going into shock, and I wasn't thinking very clearly. So in an effort to make him feel a little bit better I thanked him for stopping, apologized for walking in front of him, and then did a dance to show him that all my limbs worked properly. I think by the end of it I had him convinced that I wasn't hurt, but that I was insane.


Exciting event #2:
I am understanding calculus, and actually don't mind the homework!

Exciting event #3:
I had my first consultation for work! Now hopefully I'll be able to get some regular clients so that I can start to support myself again.
