crazy month

So my month has been crazy: I was in a hit and run auto accident over a week ago and I'm now in the market for a new car. This has been a learning experience in many ways for me, dealing with the insurance company, the police and car salesmen. It was unfortunate to be in the accident, but it was a good situation as there were 2 witnesses and many helpful people who stopped to help me. One of the witnesses even followed the guy when he drove off and found the vehicle the next day! I was suprised at his kindness and effort for a girl he'd never met before. So the police investigated and found the owner of the car lived in GA and had let a friend borrow it who then let another friend borrow it who proceeded to run a stop sign going over 40 and hit me. Thankfully I wasn't hurt, and although my car needs to be totaled I can still drive it while I'm looking for a new one.
This has been kind of a further push into adulthood. Last week it really hit me how soon I will be done with college and taking on more responsibilities. Scary and exciting.
It's fall break right now and thank goodness. I need this extra time to have a chance to relax and get ahead on schoolwork. And to be car shopping. But it is going well so far and hopefully I'll have found a great one in the next few days!
