The Bad

With that in mind, the powers at be decided, “you’re having way too much fun kid.”

On the first day of class, my moped broke down on the side of the road and got stolen while I had to attend our sponsor’s kick-off event that I was on the way to. Looking back, I could have tried a couple more desperate things to get it to start, but I was already running late to the event and that doesn’t usually have you in a sound state of mind. So after all the work of getting it to a finally running state, it found its way to the void. I reported it to the police and everything, but I don’t expect to get it back in one piece, or ever get it back period. Maybe if some idiot tries to register it or crashes it into a police car I’ll get lucky. It probably got pulled apart though, so whatever.

Then, last Tuesday, I decided to drive to the other campus. School work has been a lot, there was a personal situation going on that I won’t be sharing, and I’ve been getting not as much sleep as I should. I figured I would go to class a bit early to get caught up with my work since I was a bit behind. I left the garage, headed down the road, and as I crossed over the bridge I looked up to realise the light I was about to go through was red. That’s not something that happens for me. I don’t go through red lights. But this time I did because I noticed only right as I was about to cross the stop line. Unfortunately, it was rush hour and less than a second after realizing the light was red, an SUV hit me on the front passenger side. The only good things here were that we were both uninjured and my ancient airbag didn’t deploy. Both cars were totaled. The other driver’s airbags did deploy, and we both had major structural damage.
