Car Accident

I got into a car accident about 4 days ago. I was riding shotgun in my friends VW Fox doing about 50mph on Palm Bay Rd. and some lady decided she wanted to make a turn across the road right as we were crossing the same intersection. Both cars got totaled and my friend and I just got some internal bruising on our chests because of the seat belts. It was insane. It's my first car accident I've ever been in and I think I can say my first time I've ever really thought, OMG, I might die.

So there's that. We went to the hospital the next day and got some meds. They gave us some muscle relaxant that put us out for over 15 hours the next day. I'm never taking that stuff again unless I want to sleep. I'll just deal with the pain in my chest.

I am trying to get my car going. I've been slowly, very slowly, going through my garage and collecting the parts I need to get my car back together. I still have to rebuild the motor and get a bunch of parts for it that will cost over 1500 bucks more than likely. I have a lot of parts though that I bought that I can sell and get all that money back pretty easily. I am going to start selling the stuff fast here because now I need the money and can't afford to have all these parts just laying around doing nothing. My plans are to have my current Jetta that I've been driving around to be my daily driver in NA form and my parts car Jetta to be my race/fun car. It's going slow.

My entry into UCF continues. So far I've got almost all the paperwork done and I am just having people look over it right now and see if my letter is all good and looks good. I think that's the biggest deciding factor. If I get in I will be so happy and have a lot off my chest. :) Then I'll know what I am doing for the next 2-3 years of my life. If I don't then I have to get into some other university in which I might have to move to some city that I know nothing about and move out of my house in which I would cost me a lot.

My job is going downhill. I am down to 18-19 hours a week now because the bossaroo decided to come in and cut hours like a mofo. The whole place is low on hours. It's frigging stupid. I'm going to be looking for another job during this summer so that I can confirm that I have some of my CC debt paid off and I will have my car running in tip top shape.

Lastly I am starting on a diet again so I can lose some weight. The joy of looking at delicious food and not being able to eat it and having to limit my proportions so that I never really feel... full.
