First Year Experience #5

What a day, on October 15, 2009, I went to a food store with my friend, Jessica Israel and we got stranded on the parking lot because my cousin’s car battery went dead. When Jessica and I got in my car at Field House parking lot, the car refused start so we called the department of Public Safety to come and recharge our car. Jessica and I went to Blockbuster and rented “The Proposal” and brought a DVD, “Drag Me to the Hell.” After checking out the movies at Blockbuster, we went to the food store, Safeway next to the rental movie store.
I brought some soup and tea because I was stuffed with colds in my head and Jessica brought some stuff for the movie night tonight. When we brought all the food and stuff, we went out, and stuffed our stuff in the trunk. And when we got in with our teeth chattering because outside was raining and COLD! When I tried to start the car… The car refused start but only feel the clicking sound from the steering wheel. What a bad luck because my cousin was in a class and everybody we knew was too busy to check their pagers. So we got out with our thin sweatshirts and asking anyone who came out from the store, we were running around the parking lot and waving our phones with a sentence saying “Do you have a car jumper?? Please help us!!” Finally we got one, actually we thought she don’t have one because she is so old like a grandma and she drove a station wagon!
When our car was started again and we zoomed back to Gallaudet University and parked the car at SLCC area. Tonight, my cousin asked me if I can drop her off at her home because today her street needed to be closed for cleaning so I tried the car again… NO LUCK! So we waited for the department of public safety guy to come back again. We waited for almost thirty minutes and because they emailed us that something has happened at Benson Hall. We looked at each other and said, “Oh yeah, freshmen!” After another fifteen minutes, a policeman came out and he was carrying with a bucket with beer and in his other hand, a beer bong!!! We laughed and waited until he came back and recharged the car again! Gee, what a day with stupid car battery!!!
