The car died today. I had to run back to the house to pick up the crayons, construction paper and temporary tattoos I had forgotten to take to class with me this morning. My college class. For a presentation. In my college class.
I had JUST filled the car up with gas yesterday. At first this thought made me angry. What a waste of $35. If I had waited I wouldn't of been out nearly the price of a Nintendo 3DS game.
But after giving it some thought I'm not angry I filled it up. It wasn't my car but it had done so much for me. It drove me from Ohio to my new life in Florida. It took me to campus every day. Countless trips to the comic shop. I worked that car hard. The least I could do was give it a final meal as it was dying. It deserved that much, at least.
