Oops!
I had a huge oops moment yesterday evening. An oops moment that involved two cops!
I suppose it all started when I decided I needed food, more than my car needed gas. I didn't have much time before class, and I wanted to eat! Yeah, kinda my main mistake.
After lab, I went over to the MV Practice field, so I could go over to Lane Stadium to help out with Uniforms. While there, Keighley got a call from Sydney, who needed a ride to Lane because she had penny war stuff. So, I drove over to get her, and waited in a parking lot for her. I shut down the engine while I waited. Then, the car wouldn't start. I was like, crap! But eventually it started, and we were on our way, and shortly afterward we were sorting uniforms again.
After that, I had to leave to get home to get a video of my mom telling a story for a class project before I took an exam that evening. So I left the MV field, and decide to go ahead and get gas on my way home. At the stoplight by the big VT on Southgate I ended up getting a red light. After it turned green, my car all of a sudden did a sort of "chug-a-lug" and wouldn't let me go! I was able to pull over a little ways up from the light. I called my dad, no answer. It was then when i saw blue lights flashing. I knew he was probably there just to check to make sure everything was alright, but I started to cry. He probably thought I was a pathetic little college girl. I told him I wasn't sure what happened, because all the lights were on in the dash, but I was probably out of gas. I told him I would try to get a hold of my mom. He stayed behind me to make sure no one ran into the back of my car until my mom came. A little later another police car showed up. I was like, oh crap, what's going on?! He was just relieving the first officer because he was actually on his way to something when I had my mishap. So he stayed behind me until my mom showed up and helped us put gas into my car. I was so relieved when my car started. I told my mom I was going to the gas station, and the policeman laughed and told me getting gas was a good idea!
I filled up my tank. The first time in a really long time! Then when I was on my way to my exam about an hour later...the price of gas was down 3 more cents! Damn!
