Topsy Turvy Thursday.

Well Thursday was quite the day of emotions for me.  It all started out like this:

I got up at my usual time and got ready for work.  As I walk to my car I notice there is something on my windshield.  I grabbed it and it was a business card to a Laramie Police Officer.  I automatically started to think "o crap, did I park illegally?  Was I speeding?  Wouldn't they of pulled me over if I was speeding?".  All these thoughts were coming to my head when a woman yelled at me from across the street telling me that she had to talk to me.  She explained that she had been having coffee with her dad and that during that time this big white diesel truck tried to parallel park in front of my car.  While they were trying to park the truck ran right into my car.  At this point you would think that this truck would stop, but NO!  He then pulled forward and ran into my car again and then since 3rd time is always a charm, he ran into it a 3rd time!  The lady said she ran out there to yell at the guy to tell him to stop.  He rolled down his window and just looked at her and then drove away.  Luckily they got the guy's license plate number and they called the cops for me; hence the cop's card already being on my car.  I am SO SO SO thankful for this woman!  She saved me SO much trouble by seeing the accident and getting the guys info for me.  

Thankfully they found the guy and let me tell you he was a REAL piece of work.  He proceeds to tell me that he had no idea he hit my car (seriously?!?! how can you not know that you ran into a car 3 times....I do not care how big your truck is, you can feel when you run into something as big as a car, especially when that car is not moving!!!)  He then tried telling me that he didn't think he did it because his car had no damage....Seriously?!? you have a huge truck with a hitch! Of course there is going to be no damage to your car!!! Anywho, the cops filed a report, I have this man's info and I am going to be calling his insurance company next week.  I need a new bumper, hood, and probably other little parts to my car.  Thank goodness this guy has insurance.

Now you can imagine this put me into a funk for most of the day.  I am still thankful that they found the guy so that his insurance can pay because I had NO IDEA how I was going to afford to get that fixed (I am a poor college student =] ).  

Well while sitting at work doing some database entry I received a wonderful call that totally turned my day around!!!  I was offered an internship position starting this summer to work in the Youth and Family section at Peak Wellness Center in Laramie!!!!!  I will get the chance to work with all ages of kiddo's, do group counseling, and even start doing family counseling!!!! This is going to be such a great opportunity!  It will provide me with lots of opportunity to grow as a counselor and to learn about all different areas!  I should be starting this in June!!!  It is also great because all the stress is lifted off of me of finding an internship!  I really needed that news that day =]

Here's to big trucks trying to eat my little grand am, the kindness of strangers, and my future starting to unfold!
