Curses Are Seemingly Preludes To Blessings

Well... not this last Sunday, but the Sunday prior to it, my parents and I had swapped cars. So I was driving their van and they were driving my car. I spent the whole night at work. During this, my parents went to the Imax to get tickets for the Dark Knight (they lied to me, telling me that they already had them :( ) and found out that the Imax was sold out for 3 weeks. So they went to MJR (a really awesome movie theater that's basically the next best thing to Imax). As they were leaving, there is a 4-way intersection in the parking lot. One way with stop signs, the other without. My mom was in the lane without stop signs, but just to be safe, she yields. As she does, there is a woman to her left waiting for my mom to go (since the woman was at a stop sign), so she goes. As she's almost past the intersection, some guy sped through the stop sign on the other side and hit my car. My mom is alright, but my car lost its front bumper, headlights, and grill.

 

Now here's the sucky part: since this happened on private property, the guy didn't get a ticket and I could only get $500 out of his insurance. The estimate for repairs: $1200. So $700 after I got the $500 from the guy basically. I didn't have my car all of last week. I got it back on Saturday, and it doesn't look the greatest, but you can't really tell that it was in an accident from a distance. And luckily, the shop I took my car into is owned by some friends of my parents and when I got it back, they said after the money from the guy's insurance, they're only charging us $120. Originally, I was gonna have to pay the $700 which made no sense, seeing as I had no involvement with the accident what-so-ever, but since it was lowered in price, my parents are covering it (thank God!).

 

Last week (on Wednesday), my sisters broke my phone... Luckily, I'm semi-intelligent enough to piece it together and make it work. But my 2-year contract was almost up, so I needed to upgrade anyways. Going to AT&T's website, I browsed through their phones and plans and such. I've been finding myself in need of carrying a planner around lately and I haven't yet. So I decided to look under Blackberrys/Blackjacks and I found a brand new one that after a phone upgrade discount, a contract renewal discount, and a $100 rebate, only cost me $48!

 

So yeah, don't despair regardless of what circumstances try to dictate, cause things will work out for the best.
