Good news is good news!

Happy day! Here's why:
  1. My knee is hardly even purple anymore
So, yeah. The whole "hit by a car" thing really just petered out pretty quick. If I didn't know better, I'd say I just bumped into a coffee table in the middle of the night. Or that I had some rare disease which gives you kind of purple splotches on your left knee.
  1. I got my license last Friday
Beware, world! Stay off the streets! I passed with a reasonable score, although I did get marked down for going WAY too slow, but hey, I was nervous. The written part was super easy. One question was something along the lines of:

You're coming up to the top of a hill and you can't see what's on the other side. Do you:
a) Slow down
b) Speed up to get there faster
c) Honk your horn and turn on your fog lights

I almost laughed out loud in the middle of the DMV. A small mountain of paperwork and a camera flash later, I was a licensed driver. Afterward, Mom wanted to see the route we took on the test, so I tried to reconstruct it. Ironically, I almost got in about three wrecks. Since then, I've been driving myself and others to school and dance while mom does DDR.
  1. I got accepted to Whitworth! With honors!
This is the big, super exciting news. I got the letter today, and now alls I got to do is ask for a deferral for next year, then the insanely huge plug gets pulled out of the bathtub that is my and my parent's savings. Fun times as a poor college student are just around the corner. Freshman 15, here I come!
