After Thanksgiving Recovery

I had a busy holiday week. Thanksgiving was good--a meal with my whole family. It was perfect. We went shopping on Black Friday and I got some really good deals on sweaters at Belk. We saved over $300! I also went to a bar and had fantastic pizza along with a really great beer that left me tipsy. I've decided I have finally found a beer that I like.

All that fun came to end this morning when Stephen drove me back to school. He drove me because it was snowing slightly and the roads were icy, and his SUV handles better than my Civic. We were fine, but we had to stop and help a guy who had an accident. He was coming down a bridge, hit an icy spot, and hit the median. He was standing beside the wreckage, wearing no coat, looking completely shocked, and no one was helping him. He couldn't have been older than 18. We called 911, gave him a coat to wear, and let him use our phone to call his parents. His car was totaled. I felt awful for him. But I was also really pissed off that everyone was just blithely driving by this poor boy without stopping to check on him. I've never been in a car accident, but if I am, I hope someone would stop and help me out.

In other news, this is the last full week of classes. I'm crossing my fingers and just trying to make it through the week without any major problems. Wish me luck.
