On The Road Again
It’s been an interesting day.
Woke up, and decided to head home today rather than tomorrow. So I packed up all my junk, and went to move my car, and I couldn’t get out of the parking lot. Of course, my roommates were all out, so after a number of failed attempts at getting traction, a guy (was wearing an orange vest, so I’m assuming either FMS or some form of security), and a Public Safety officer (remember that part, it’ll be relevant later) helped push me out of the snow. I then proceeded to load up my car for the drive.
So I drove up to C lot to grab some snacks for the drive, and to spend the last of my debit. I’d like to add here that for anybody who still has debit at the end of the quarter: you can use it to get $5 gift certificates at Ben & Jerry’s. I got 10. =)
Regardless of that tidbit, I came out of C lot with Doritos in hand, all set to go, and then found myself stuck in the parking lot. I went up to the Public Safety office, only to be told that Public Safety does not push cars, and that I’d have to talk to FMS. Basically, that even though my car is right outside of the Public Safety office, that I was shit out of luck.
Thank you, Public Safety. My respect for you has now become nil. (Except for Officer Miltsch. You’re still cool.)
So anyway, I called AAA, and their Rochester number is out of service. Another dead end. Good to know that they’re there if I ever do need them in a genuine emergency. Finally, I got in contact with FMS, who came right out, looked at it, mentioned something about my parking brake, and I felt like an idiot. But they solved the problem, and were totally cool about it.
FMS > Public Safety.
Anyway, ride home was uneventful which was good; I got caught up on podcasts. Mr. Manners and Grammar Girl, you make excellent travel companions.
So now I am home. People (and dogs) are happy to see me, and all is well.
Oh, and I got some of my grades back tonight, including the one course that I was worried about, Computer Crime. And I got an A. Like Statistics last quarter, I’m not sure hwo I pulled it off, but I managed it. So assuming I get an A in Web Design (which I doubt will not happen):
I have another 4.0.
It’s gonna be a good vacation. =)
