*skidding into a ditch*
 

yes, it's true... well, not exactly.
I got stuck in the median earlier. I was driving the 30 or so miles to school this morning, reaching speeds up to a whopping 20 mph. And I'm in the right lane... and then I start fishtailing for no apparent reason... then I careen over to the left lane, I start donut-ing around... and I surprising manage to avoid 2 cars. Then I'm in the median... and I avoid a sign, but that sends me spinning again.
I finally come to rest facing the opposite direction I had been going. It was only like.. 3 spins total.
And so I try getting out, and I almost do... but then I get stuck.
And I'm stuck for about an hour or so. It wasn't bad. The other cars swerving and stuff kept me entertained.
I had called my father so he was on his way out there, but then a Dept of Transportation d00d happens along.
That's a whole other story, but I will say he was awesome!
And now I'm at school again.
