interstate roads take me home...
NOT!
I, leslie and two others left Unity maine on wendsday heading for jersey wehre we would stop and crash, and then the three of us would head on towards VA.
by the way school is out, and while i am not sure how grads went lets just say that i am now onto my second year of college.
anways on to the subject at hand, for those of you who do not know i retired my little red car just about a month ago, with a 170,000 miles she had a good life and was passed on to some yong eager driver. hope that she will give them some great years i know the four that i had her were all good.
the point is that i had to go out and get a new car because i was not sure the little red on would make it the whole way back down to va and then back up to maine in june when i had o be at work.
i poked aroud a little bit and bought a car that was five years newer and had fifty thousand less miles on it, a little four door nissian sentra and the whole point of gettting it was so that i could make it home.
for the first montht that i had the new car which leslie has named Ellie things seemed to be going ok, there was a few litle higns wrong with her but i though thtat i had gotten them all taken car of
well that was before i had left maine heading for VA
on witht he post eh ?
i had the car packed down very nicely, bike on the rack and roof bag up top, it was a lot of weight but i though tthat she would be ok, well i though wrong
we had barely made it half way through connincuite (i really need to take a spelling course) when the shit really hit the fan, the cars gas milage was droppin like a rock ( the whole reason i got the car is that when she is running right it is supposed to get near 40 mpg )
and the oil light was on...
the car was goign throguh two quarts of oil ever twenty miles or so, and that was no good at all, it cost 12 dollars for three quarts of oil, and she was leaking it right out.
at this point it is close to five o clock in the morning and we are all at the end of our ropes
i decided to limp off the highway and gram a hotel for the night and seek help in the morning, leslie said that she would stay with me (best girlfriend ever) and so off we went, we managed to find a place that was open at five in the morning and got a room fr the night, when i say night i mean we got a room for six hours.
we got up a few hours later and went in search of a garage, the only one that people could point us to was one that was a garage for truckers ( big rigs) so i limped my car along to there and they said that they would take a look at it but it was going to cost at least 250.00 just to tell me what was wrong.
lets just keep in mind that i have no money and that i havent had a job since last augest because i wanted to focous on school
i told them to do it and leslie and i took off in her car for a few hours when we came back the news was not good, i need two new belts a new oil pan and a new crank case seal... car not drivable
this was it
i could see my self headin into poverty at a young age
i told them to fix it and them re arranged all of the money that i have to my name i had saved all of the cash that i had gotten from my old car (800.00 ) and i also had a few more dollare lying around. it wasent looking good since they told me it would be at least 660.00 with out tax
what ever
i needed to get home
even more so
i needed to get back to maine in a month
leslie and i headed off to find a hotel for the night ( again) and let me tell you that is a lot harder then it looks
we decided that even though my dad offered to pay for the room we would try to get then best deal e could since we had time to mess around, we went to five or six hotels
guess what?
no rooms to any one who is under 21
bulshit
i had had just about enough of every thing when we finally found a room and rashed for the night
we got up the next day (friday)
an headed to the garage , oh by the way the place happened to be named haliorious
interasting name for a garage
they said it was done and then i got the bill 733.00!!!!!
well its offical im broke
i handed over the money and we headed off to jersey to meet up with amanda and head the rest of the way home
when we got to jersey we waited intill rush hour died down, and it was about seven thirty when we left
we were all ready to get home and despite the traffic and the bad weather we made good time coming home
and at least my car was fixed
i made it fomr centrel jersey to north va on half a tank of gas thats 275 miles on six gallons
aka 45 mpg
its sweet... except for the fact that my check motor light is now on
oh well

My school year
is quickly coming to a close, and when i mean quickly i mean fast, as in a day or so. i find that i am slightly un-easy about heading home even though it is for a short time. in fact i dont really want to go home at all, yet at the same time i do not want to stay here any longer, i am geting ready to leave here (unity for six months) and i am not so sure how i will handle it. right now i know one thing, and that is that i want to be done. i want to be done with school, i have only been here for a year an already i am tired of it, in fact i have been tired of it fort he last semester. i am eger to get out and be independent, surely every one feel the same way, so i suppose i will not complain
i will admit that the feature directly ahead is looking like a bit of a challange
what does one do? i dont know it 2 11 in the morning
off on a compleatly diffenert tangent
i went to the book buy back thing that the school book store put on today and got a wopping 110 dollars back, i would just like to point out that this is more then any one else who did it. but ont he other hand i got a hundred ten back for seven hundred dollars of books. excample my bio book cost me 115 used at the start of the semester, and i only got fifty back for it, they will turn around and sell it for 100, what a rip off
at least now i have a little bit of money to get me home and to last me intill i need to come back up to maine
intill later
