And then I found a dollar
So I ran out of gas on the turnpike this morning. Luckily, we have AAA so I was able to call for help. I was about 13 miles from my exit. There were a lot of communication problems between the AAA people so it took an hour and half for me to be rescued. I just sat there the entire time looking in my review mirror, hoping to see a tow truck come around. I did do the rest of my reading that I did not finish yesterday. I was too distracted to do more work though. At one point I thought I lost my AAA card that I set on the passenger seat, so I started searching around for it and I found a dollar! That was the best part of the time I sat waiting. I also called my roommate and pretended to have to tell her something because I longed for human contact. I missed my only class for the day. I'm not too worried about it though because I've never missed this class and I have a friend who can give me the notes. Gas is cheaper in Berea than in Fremont so I really thought I could make it. I was wrong. When the tow truck guy got there he said they didn't tell him I ran out of gas so he didn't have any. I freaked out in my head for a moment and thought he was going to have to leave and come back. He said he would just tow me to a gas station. He ended up towing me all the way to Berea. I didn't even have to pay my turnpike toll! He also put air in one of my tires that was low. Since I didn't have to pay for the turnpike, I treated myself to window's. Now I'm at work, and I'll be here for the next two hours. I haven't been up to my room yet since I got back. I miss it. I miss my roommate. I had a good night in Fremont. I spent over two hours at my grandmother's house. It was kind of boring, but it was worth it. I made dinner for her. I think she enjoyed it. After that I went home and baked cookies until midnight. First I made chocolate chip cookies, then oatmeal. I did a pretty good job. They are for my host for this weekend. I'm excited to surprise him with about 6 dozen cookies! I went a little crazy I guess. I just couldn't help it. I only ate one oatmeal cookie. I have tried the chocolate chip. I allowed my parents to each eat a chocolate chip cookie. My mom told me they were great, but I don't know if I can trust her opinion since she is my mom. The oatmeal cookies are chewy, which is what I was going for. It was wonderful to sleep in my own bed. I slept incredibly well. I love my bed. I got my CD's finished which was pleasing. I think I got everything done that I meant to get done at home. I love when that happens. I really can't think of much more to write and I still have two hours to go. I'll have to find something else to waste my time.
