Bumper Cars

I know...I haven't written in quite awhile. Well, I have TWO stories to make up for it.
Last night, I was on the 95, just dozing off while I waited to be transported home. Music was playing, and I was thinking about a paper that I have to write. All of a sudden, I hear tires squeal and CRASH!!! The whole bus shakes, and rocks back and forth. Of course, being half-asleep, I slammed my head off the window behind me.
Some idiot had run a red light, and HIT OUR BUS as it was pulling out of the bus station.
His car spun FIVE times....and he ended up on the road, facing us.
This poor guy gets out of his car, walks over to the front of the car....and picks up his bumper.
Yes sir, his entire bumper. Just picks it up and shakes his head.
The bus driver was muttering in a foreign language, and he motioned for us all to get off the bus.
Twenty minutes later, a replacement bus came.
My very first accident ever.
And I just have a headache.

Today, I had Bible study. So, being that there is a car in the driveway, Dad said that I could drive it to school. No sweat, I'd driven to school at LEAST twice before. Wrote my directions on a sticky note, and stuck it to my steering wheel.
When I got to Greenbank, I knew that I should start looking for my turn-off to Hunt Club. I looked, and looked and looked....and half an hour later, I was cruising down Richmond Road, completely lost.
In case you don't know, Richmond Road is in the WRONG DIRECTION.
So, I turn around, come back to the house, and START AGAIN.
Still....no Hunt Club.
So finally, I decide that I should pray....because God is sort of the Creator of the Universe, and I bet He knows where Hunt Club is.
So, I return to Greenbank, and look even closer. Then, my turn signal goes on. Telling me to turn left. So I do....and GUESS WHAT?? I was on Hunt Club.
There had been construction, so they had taken down the signs.
Tell me...if I hadn't prayed, HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO FIND IT.
That is what signs are for. To tell you where to go.
I was an hour late for Bible study.
And then I had to pay $6 for parking.
Next week, I'm taking the bus.
