Words of a Self Proclaimed Nerd

 

And can we say buuuuuuuurn out?

 

If something can go wrong it will. Both mine and my mom’s cars both died (was that grammatically correct?) in the same week. Mine starts and then dies/loses power so it’s in the shop getting a harmonic balancer replaced. That’s not even guaranteed to fix my issue but I definitely need it so there is $156 being dropped for a repair and then who knows how much for the other issue. No one can even diagnose it. 3 garages have looked at it and we’re still stumped. It’s driving me bonkers. Hopefully I can get my car back tomorrow because I’m going crazy. Mom’s is starting when it wants to so it’s not necessarily something you want to drive anywhere, you may end up stranded.

I skipped school this morning because it wouldn’t start for me. I’m on the verge of a mental breakdown with all this shit hitting at once. I have 2 exams on Wednesday and I have to work both Tuesday/Wednesday. I need the money from this and I can’t afford to miss, not to mention if I miss these two exams I’ll fail both of these classes as the exams are 25% each. Not going to work in my favor.

I was also intending to go to see Randy tonight but since the car is on its deathbed I highly doubt that’s going to occur. How lame. I have loads of reading and studying I need to get working on but my motivation is highly shot down the toilet. I guess Tuesday night I’ll have to get a buckle of motivation for Wednesday’s exams. Or not….

I’m so burned out this semester. Is it May yet?

    Sounds like your alternator to me. I have the same problem last year. The alternator is what charges your battery. You have initial power from whatever your batter has in it. Then the alternator doesn’t recharge it properly and your car dies… first doing weird things like the speedometer going crazy and the lights going dim/out.

    Good luck with things.

    I totally know how you feel. Happened to us too. :(

    Ugh, that really sucks. I hate times where everything just seems to go wrong. I’m sorry you might not be able to see Randy tonight. :(

    Ugh, I really hate when that happens. Unreliable cars drive me NUTS! Maybe in the future I’ll live close enough to my workplace to just walk. Cars are crap.

    I hope you got to classes today and get to them tomorrow! At least I hope you can find someone to give you rides, it would be so sad to miss exams because of no cars. Bleh! Good luck!
