Lucky

Well, went back home to Indiana for the weekend for prom. The drive was like 9 hours. I made it there safe. Mom insisted I call her every time I stopped for anything so that she would "know where to start looking for you if you disappeared" Thanks mom...as if I wasn't already worried. I got to the lake just fine, after stopping to see my best friend at work first. I spent Saturday afternoon helping my Gram plant flowers. I left her house to go to my friend's around 1:30. I got ready at Laurel's house and we went to prom together with her bf. Prom was great, although I went stag, I had plenty of people to dance with. This guy, Thomas, who is just adorable asked me to dance, it was nice. So, after prom we went out to IHOP and then back home. The next mornning I left for home around 11. I was just about in down town Indianapolis, across from that big methodist hospital on I-65, when my left front tire blew. I was in the far left lane, and there was someone right next to me on the right. So when the car swerved left, i went with it. I smashed into the left retaining wall going about 60mph, the car then threatened to start spinning out of control and the rear drivers side smashed into the left retaining wall. The car then bounces across all three lanes of traffic and smashed into the right retaining wall. I finally managed to stop the car and get it pulled over. The car was full of dirt which had come from the plants i was bringing home for mom. Mangled pots and dirt were everywhere. everything was disheveled, but nothing was really irreplaceable. My only real injuries were a sore neck, bruised shoulder, and bruised collar bone. I sat in the car, trying to figure out what to do. I finally got myself to stop shaking and called Gram and Gramps. They came to my rescue, and were there within an hour and a half. The damage to the car was all superficial and the engine was fine. So, I was ok and the car was kinda ok. Now we had to figure out how to get me home in time for class the next day at 3pm. It was now about 3:30. So they decided to put me on a bus. We went the the station, bought me a ticket for the 6:45, and went to eat. After subway, gram and gramps said their goodbyes and left.
