AP Chemistry + Car Accidents

Welcome, one and all, to one of the worst days of my life. It all started this morning. I woke up with butterflies in my stomach [not the good kind] because the AP Chemistry test. I was so totally unprepared. And from noon - 3:30 I proved it by skipping 40 multiple choice questions and kind of bombing the free-response. Woo-freakin-hoo. So yeah, as if that didn't suck enough for one day...

When I FINALLY got out of school, I headed to the C.U. to cash my paycheck. Well, turns out I forgot it at home because I cleaned out my purse this AM + had taken it out. So I was a little annoyed, but I decided to go home anyway + get it + then go cash it. OK, so I'm driving down Academy + I stop at the intersection of Franklin + Academy at the light. There was like 3 cars in front of me + I was just jamming to some tunage when BAM! this Ford Explorer hits me from behind. Well, I pretty much immediately felt pain go down my neck + back + I was pretty freaked out, so I started to cry + shake really bad. I couldn't even talk so the lady that hit me called 911 + these cops came in like 30 seconds. They were getting her license number + stuff + then asked me what was wrong. I told them I was in OODLES of pain (not using the word oodles, but you get the idea) so they radioed the medics + I waited for the ambulance to get there. When they did, they put a cervical collar on me, rolled me onto the backboard + took me to the ER. I had to have 16 [literally] X-Rays taken of my neck + back + then I waited for a good hour + a half before they told me I was okay to go. So I just have to take lots of Motrin + ice my back + neck for a few days until I feel better.

So basically, today sucked.

Peas,
