I've called 911 four times today.

Let me tell you about my crazy night. Last April in Journalism class, I bought tickets for Seth and I to go to a John Mark McMillan/David Crowder concert in Seattle tonight. Of course the one day that I REALLY needed to go somewhere, my car wouldn't start. No big deal, I called campus security (911 call #1) and they came and jumped my car. It started. No big deal. Just my luck, Security drove off and literally 30 seconds later it died again. It was embarrassing having to call security to come back, but I was determined to see John Mark tonight! (911 call #2)

We made it to Seattle. We drove into the parking garage, turned the car off, tried to start it again, and it wouldn't start. Cool! I called my dad. He saved the day.

The concert was super fun. I should have more to say, but I haven't even gotten to the good part yet.


Seth and I were driving back to campus, probably less than 15 miles away from Bellingham, and this car started tale gating us like crazy. Then he got in front of us and started swerving like crazy. I tried to call 911. (Call #3) He then sped up to probably 100 miles per hour, and was swerving back between the two lanes. My phone was still on, but less than 5% battery and every time I tried to call 911, it hung up on me. Apparently nearly dead phones don't make 911 calls. We watched the car as it swerved back in forth going sooo fast and we couldn't even do anything. The car got up to another car and it looked liked he slammed into her, hit the guard rail, spun out right in front of her. Both cars pulled over and then the crazy car sped off. We talked to the other car. He actually didn't hit her, but she was really freaked out and her phone was dead too! We were trying to drive back to campus as fast as we could so we could call the car in. We pulled off the freeway, and there was a state patrol that had just pulled another car over. Both us and the other car drove up to him and told him. We felt like heroes and it was definitely the excitement of the night.

Also, I haven't blogged in a week. That's because there's nothing to blog about. I made an idea list. It went like this.
1. Geology- I still hate it.
2. The weather- It's still rainy
3. The ice cream- I still eat it

Hopefully I can get out more and see more crazy people and then I will have lots to blog about.
