What a day.

Wednesday was quite a day. I had two midterms. For once in my college career I felt that studying paid off. I always study for exams, but it never feels like it pays off. I mean, obviously I would have done worse if I didn't study. But I never feel like I did good because of studying. For the first time ever I think I did good, only because I studied. What a novel ideal.

But two midterms is still two midterms and it's quite draining. Afterwards I was planning on picking Katherine up because she had a longer day at work. So I hop into the car and start heading over there. My tire blew up on the way. Perhaps not completely blew up, but something happened to it.

At first I heard this loud sound that kept going, I thought it was some old car near me. But even after the car passes me, I still hear it. And I notice the car stars to shake. So I decide to exit the freeway and stop in some parking lot. The tire is torn up. So I spend the next twenty minutes or so changing the tire. I was worried I bent something by driving when it was blown, in that case I wouldn't be able to take the tire off. But luckily nothing of that sort happened.

So I'm off again. But since I'm riding on a spare, I have to go uber slow. I end up getting pulled over by highway patrol because I'm going to slow. But they let me go once they realize I'm on a spare.

In retrospect, it wasn't the craziest day. But still a story type of day.
