Ladies and Gentleman, start your laughter!
I am driving. Every day. And not only am I driving every day, but I survived my first car accident while I was driving.
To begin with, I'm driving now because Darbi, my friend and coworker who I share my car with, dislocated her shoulder playing rugby. Turns out its tough to drive with one arm. I think she's just lucky we don't have a stick shift.
As for the accident, I got rear-ended while waiting to turn onto a busy road. The driver behind me was watching the traffic and not me, so he simply accelerated right into me. My car was perfectly fine (one of the very very few benefits of driving a tank) and his was good and messed up. This was the first time that I've been driving during an accident involving another car. I spun off the road one time trying to drive to pick up my mom during a blizzard, but nobody hit me or vice versa. I've also been in a number of other accidents while being a passenger, including one last week.
So yes, after all of this accident fun, I am driving more than ever before. Did I ever mention that I hate cars. My appreciation for efficient public transit is rising by the minute.
I guess the good thing about all the driving is that I'm learning the roads much faster now. I'll probably get those all down by the time it's time to leave.

driving! how is driving there? obviously not perfect if you got in an accident. i'm glad you're alright!
when we rode around in ghana i was thankful for getting out safe every time - the driving was definitely not something i could ever attempt.
so i wish i had something more exciting to write, but it's finals week so everything here is a bit chaotic and not exciting outside of my little grad school bubble. over this little break coming i'll think of something.
hope all is well! :)
