I actually had a really bad, almost car crash scare on Friday, so I guess I’m gonna talk about that a little bit. So I was driving to school and I had two exams that day. I had to take my math analysis HL exam and my chemistry HL exam for my IB diploma.
And while I was driving to school, I, like, got really close to this one road, that’s like near a major road, and a big red truck makes a turn out of a gas station, right in front of me. I had literally, like, maybe two seconds tops to figure out what I was doing and I managed to save myself.
But here’s the thing — I don’t know why that red truck thought that he could turn because I was right there and he was making a left, and, like, there was someone in that left lane so like I couldn’t — I had to pull up onto the right curb. My car got a little bit scuffed up and I was honestly just, like, in shock, like shaking, frozen, not feeling all the best after that whole incident. So I was kind of like, “Oh my gosh.” Like, I literally felt like I almost died. And then I had to drive up to the school and immediately take a math test.
So here is the ironic thing is that last year, around the time of finals, I got into a car crash, somebody rear ended me and my car got totaled. And that day was the day of my chemistry test, like my chem final. And the funny thing was that later in that afternoon, I was taking the chem IB exam. And you’re probably thinking, “Okay? So, what did having to take the math exam have to do with it?” Well, because I was like, very high stress about math and my math exam was the next day, and like, I went home and I couldn’t study ‘cause my car was like, totaled, it was destroyed. I was freaking out and not having a good time at all.
So I ended up talking to my teacher and asking if I could have an extra day so I could study the day before the exam before my math final. So I took the chemistry final though, on the day of my car crash and my math final was, like, affected. So, I was kind of thinking to myself, “Oh my gosh, that’s literally so ironic because it was my math and chemistry IB exams that were affected, so last year’s car crash was like training to stay calm in the situation.” Like, I had to make light out of it somehow because it sucked. Anyways, don’t get in car crashes, guys. Drive safe.
