Yesterday was a roller coaster of emotions for me, and the ride didn’t really start until I got out of class at 7:15. After listening to “We Will Rock You” by Queen during my test because of the basketball game going on right outside of class, I went to my car on the second floor of the east parking deck and…it wouldn’t start. Well this has happened before; I just wait a few minutes push the brake and try again… Still nothing…Still nothing…Still nothing…

I called my family because we were all supposed to go to the Marietta Diner for Maddi’s birthday dinner and so they decided to just come get me and we would go eat before we decided to try and jump it to get it to a repair shop.

Food was incredible. And dessert…even better. Everything was amazing…including the service; thank you Victor.

We come back to the now empty garage and maneuver my car and Mom’s van to where it would be easiest to jump but still out of the way for other drivers… Its not taking. We wait around 12 minutes and I try again… And again…Still nothing. We figured it MUST be my starter.

We call AAA (they now know me on a first name basis by now. they practically screen my call: “yes ms. regan? your at KSU again? ok we’ll send someone your way…again.”) and she said that it would be a 30 to 90 minute wait. We headed over to the dorms because Tyler and Austin called to see if we wanted to watch The Strangers with them. We tell them what’s going on and while giving them the run down, the tow truck guy called me. It was amazing that I could understand him through his mumbles, but i managed and he told me he would be there in thirty minutes. So we drive back over to the garage and wait.

About 20 minutes later the guy calls me again to get directions from to the garage. As I tell him to take a right onto Frey road, I hear, “Oh…oops…I just ran a red light…Like it was seriously red…oh no…Do lots of cops stay over in this area?” GREAT. My tow truck guy is about to get pulled over and with my luck he’ll have drugs in his car and be arrested. Well…luckily no cops caught him and we see him pull up to the parking deck and he OF COURSE cant fit.

As he is telling me this dreadful news…The boys (tyler, austin, ian and chris) pull up and are HYPER. So I guess it wasn’t as big a deal as I thought that he couldn’t fit the truck in because Ian hops in my car and says to the guys “PUSH ME!” and he puts it in neutral and they just easily coast and ride my car (literally tyler was on my car) down to where the truck is. They seriously made my night. I was so excited that they showed up (their heads are getting bigger as they read this) that I was in the best mood even though I was ready to cry about 10 seconds before they showed up. As he hooks up my car to his truck the guys are playing frisbee up and down all the levels of the garage.

THEN mom and dad go home and Maddi, Ian, Tyler, Chris, Austin, and myself try to pile into Tyler’s Corolla. This was difficult considering all the stuff Tyler had in his car. So this was the seating arrangement:

Driver seat: Tyler

Passenger seat: Chris, Austin

Back driver seat: Amp

Back passenger seat: Kelsianne, Maddi

Trunk: Ian

Lets just say its a good thing we didn’t get pulled over…

After that we got to their dorm and watched The strangers (one of the scariest movies i have EVER seen). I’d might as well been a bear the way I mauled Ian. I all but pushed him off the couch ever time something made me jump (and that was pretty much the whole movie). And Tyler on the other side of me was upside down on the couch by the end of it. Needless to say: It was intensely creepy.

Austin and Tyler were kind enough to take me and maddi home considering our lack of car.

Thanks guys for making my night better! You all are seriously AMAZING friends!
