life is a highway?

I was rear ended before I left the parking lot, you think northern students would know to pump their breaks. I went an hour out of the way to avoid a storm only to hit a storm. I ran out of wiper fluid. I lost control in a gas station parking lot. I spent a good 100 miles going 55 on the expressway because I could only see three feet ahead of me. A normally six and a half hour drive ended up taking me ten. Most people would say that today was a shitty day. Truth is, I am home. I made two friends. My car is not totaled just dented. I am alive. Something had my back today. I will never know anything as scary as driving down the expressway blind in a good foot of snow for a hundred miles in total darkness. I will not be this proud of myself for a while. I never knew that many people cared about me. Today was a good day.
