Graduation, CLEARLY has never been my thing. The day before my HS graduation, my best friend Sabrina and I were in a car accident. No worries, we both lived, but we were in a TON of pain at Graduation. Something else happend right before I graduated Medical Assisting school...but I can't remember!! Needless to say, Saturday I was a little scared:)
I drove up to Logan Friday night and stayed with my old roommate. About 1:15am I noticed that the storm that had been threatening to come, was showing its ugly face. At 6:00am I called my parents and told them the weather was FAR too bad for them to make the dangerous drive to Logan. All of you Loganites can testify that Sardine Canyon, in a storm, is a BEAST!!
I figured since my parents were snowed out, that I wasn't going to go sit in a two hour graduation, and walk for no one!! Instead, I went SHOPPING!!! Big mistake.
Besides the fact that mother nature was beatin down hard and by 10am there was already 8 inches of snow...I decided that I needed to wrap up my Christmas shopping. To make a long and cold story short....I BLEW A TIRE!!! Did I mention that it was a blizzard out there??? I had been driving around all morning before I realized that the noise was,not my car beatin down on the snow and ice...it was the RIM OF MY TIRE!!! I wanted to cry and laugh....remember how I JUST replaced my windsheild last saturday....grrrr....
My dear friend Chad came and put on my spare and followed me to Big-O. It took those idiots TWO HOURS to fix it...and then when I went back to go get my car...they had left the SUN ROOF OPEN!! Who the *&^&%* knows why....it was a BLIZZARD!!! So, my car was filled with SNOW!!! I was TICKED!
I was tired and cold, but I needed a picture of me in my Grad-get-up. So once again I braved the zero-butt degree weather and grabbed my friend Liz and headed up to USU for a Graduation Picture!!
Here I am, freezing on the A:)
NOTE: Never try and jump off the A in the snow. It NEVER works out.
OUCH!!! Luckily the concrete and snow broke my fall....OUCH OUCH OUCH. My leg and arm hurt SOOO bad today!! What a dork!
I am totally swearing under my breath in this picture! j/k, but I wanted too. I was FREEZING, sore, coverd in snow and laughing so hard, I nearly wet myself!!
Needless to say, I got in my car, braved the weather and headed home. Stupid Graduation!! 7 years for NOTHING:) just kidding!! It has NEVER felt better!! It was actually quite a funny day, and I am SOO glad that my graduation isn't like ANYONE elses!!
