Long tests and accidents

Jason finished his first test last week. It took 5 hours. Oh boy the studying that went into preparing for that test was ridiculous. I know because I helped a little. He memorized about 33 pages of information which was insane! We didn't turn the tv on for 2 days while he was studying, needless to say it was quiet! Anyways... I am glad that test is over! After he finished the test his second year buddies left him a little treat in congratulations for completing what is said to be the most difficult test (because they have no idea what to expect). The school pairs second year students with first year students based on little "get to know you" cards. Jason's buddies are both LDS so instead of getting alcohol, like the majority of the other first year students, he got a gift card to Olive Garden. It was nice to go out to eat. It was really nice when my food came out burnt on the bottom (too burnt to eat) so I had it sent back. Before my new food came out the manager came over and told me my food had been comped because I had to wait for another one to come out. The funny thing is it came out really quickly, both times. We didn't even end up using the gift card because I forgot to bring cash to pay the tip, so we paid with card. Now we have a gift card we get to use another time.

On a different note... Our car got hit the first weekend of August... In our parking lot... While we were inside our apartment... Probably asleep... Luckily the guy who hit it left a note with his first name and phone number. I tried calling it, but no answer, so I tried a couple more times over the next two days. Then I called the police (I had already called my insurance right after we noticed it) and the policeman finally got ahold of the guy and I got his information. I then went and got two estimates done on the damage to see if they wanted to go through insurance or just write me a check... The estimates came to about the same amount, about a $500 difference. Turns out he hit our little car with his company vehicle so I had to work through the company and their insurance, so It took a VERY long time to get things worked out. To be completely honest, after about a month and a half I finally got a check in the mail from their insurance company last week and set up a date to get the car into the shop (in two weeks). It will be nice to have our car back to looking the way it did. I took a couple zillion pictures of it... I will only post one.


Yes, they are going to have to do some intense work on the car. It is going to take about a week (from what the auto body shop guy told me). I'm just really glad I don't have to pay for it. It doesn't look THAT bad, but it ripped into the metal! so it's going to cost a very pretty penny to pay for it. There are some more scratches near the bumper and the bumper is not attached completely anymore... So for the past month and a half we have been driving our other vehicle.

Anyways... I'm not sure if this all makes sense, so asks questions if it doesn't.
