Crazy Morning

I haven't had a crazy morning in awhile. You know, those ones where you're running late and nothing seems to be going right?

Today, Mikes left at 3:30am to catch a train down to Green River for a program evaluation. I kept waking up multiples times during the night to make sure that he hadn't missed his alarm. So, when my alarm finally went off at 8am, I was still very sleepy and stayed in bed until 8:17am (despite intentions to be AT school by 8am to finish some reading for the day).

I let Astro out and fed him. Threw on a pair of jeans and decided today was a sweatshirt day. I packed up all my books and laptop when I realized I couldn't walk out the door without my keys. Now, where are those keys??

I looked all over the place for about 10 minutes. Called my parents to see if they had placed them somewhere while they were in town over the weekend. Of course the extra jetta key was hanging by the door, but Mikes had driven the Jetta to the train station and parked it there for the day. Finally, as it kept getting later and later, I found my old key, the one that's broken off (just the actual metal bottom half).

I ran outside, 5 minutes till class starts. I was able to turn the key, but the engine wouldn't start. Dang it for being so cold while the battery is on its way out. I kept trying for about 5 minutes and realized I wasn't getting anywhere.

Finally, I decided to just walk to school. Thankfully the 2-some miles was mostly downhill. I kept hoping to intercept the bus, but I never did.

I got to class about 1/2 hr later with an hour left. Glad to have made it, but sad that this now means I have to cancel on my clinic's fieldtrip tomorrow. The environmental clinic is going on an airboat ride around Great Salt Lake. It sounded like so much fun! But while I was prepared to miss one day of class, I really can't skip out on almost the entire week of Indian Law.

what a morning.
