Wrecked

So today was a long day. I got my copy of Grand Theft Auto 4. I then had a round of tennis playoffs. As it was dreadfully bright out there, I left burnt and exhausted. Somehow me and my doubles partner got away with two wins, which we were both grateful for, but not too pleased with our performance. So after the match, I was on my way to pick up my father from the school, and on the way got into a car accident. I was driving along when a lady suddenly crossed the double line coming directly head-on in my lane. I swerved just enough to avoid a head-on collision, but she smashed my side mirror off. As my side window was open, the mirror flew through the window and into my passenger side seat. Glass shattered and coated my lap, the floor, my seat, the passenger side seat, the back seat, as well as everything in between. Somehow I came out of the event with only some minor cuts on my arm and face. The lady driving said that she had dropped her cigarette and was looking down for it when she decided to come into my lane.

What was later brought to my attention by my father was the fact that if I had had my arm out the window, I would mostly likely have either no arm or a severely broken one. Luckily, I keep my arms in the car when driving. It's pretty crazy when you think about how easily things could have been much worse. Thankfully, though, I am alive and intact. Close call.
