Assumptions

Sooo.... When it is dark and rainy out, and you need to turn around because you missed your turn... never assume that store driveways/parking lots have an entrance and an exit. Because if you do, you'll find yourself stuck in the mud in need of a tow.

Let me elaborate.

All of the Christian groups on campus are doing outreach this week. We all got together to kick it off on Sunday night. The group I'm a part of drove the church vans, but I drove myself. Some of my friends wanted to stay a little later than the rest of the group, so they were going to ride with me. When we left, I missed the road I was supposed to turn on. So I turned into the driveway of some flooring store, thinking the driveway would circle around back to the road. It was dark and raining and I was flustered because everyone was saying I missed the road. Alright! I admit, I may have been a tad distracted by the person sitting in the front seat. Anyway, I drove on the grass for a good twenty feet before said person asked me, "You know this is grass right?" At which point I tried to back up. The end of my car was literally even with the pavement when I got stuck. He couldn't push me out; not even with the help of another person in the car. I would have called a tow then (I get free towing) but my roommate wanted to see if some of our friends could come and help. No, you need a tow. It took the guy about twenty minutes to get there. Oh, well. I'm blaming my contacts. That d--- grass honestly looked like cement to me. And no, I was completely and utterly sober. When I called the store the next morning, they seemed glad that I called and told them what happened; they didn't want me to do anything. At least I have a hilarious story to tell future friends and generations.

In other news, after at least five months and countless applications, I finally have some jobs leads. Yesterday, a company I sent my resume to called and asked me to officially apply online. And later that same day a bookstore called and asked if I was still interested in coming in for an interview. Wow. Sort of flabbergasted. Nothing for so long and then two things in one day. I guess when God wants (or doesn't want) something in your life, He makes it pretty darn clear.
