the check engine light

Tonight I went over to my friend Stephanie’s apartment to watch a movie.  She’s a teacher and today was her first day back in school, so we were celebrating/mourning the beginning of school and the end of summer.  We watched Evan Almighty, which was a fantastic movie.  We also ate M&Ms and cheesy popcorn.  Fun times.

On my way over to Stephanie’s, the “check engine” light on my dashboard came on.  Eeeek, that made me nervous!  I was afraid that might mean something was dreadfully wrong with my car, and I just can’t afford a repair right now!  Chances are it is just because the mileage has rolled past a pre-set repair date, and it’s not a big deal, but I was (and AM) very nervous nonetheless!

    Hahaha, I finally found a reason WHY guys are sometimes useful: They know car related things! LOL.

    I just finished reading your bio and I must say, we have a lot in common (interests wise). I haven’t traveled AT ALL but I leave for Europe in 24 days for 3 months! I’m studying Political Science over there (thats my major). And you know what? GOOD FOR YOU…For working with a humanitarian organization overseas! I’m a member of Amnesty International and I’ve *always* wanted to do that. I think it would be a life changing experience and I love to help those less fortunate.

    Haha, I’m rambling now. But I just wanted to say that i’m super impressed. I love finding bloggers who care about important issues :)
