I love ATL. I hate cars.

The title says it all.

I'll start with the bad: I hate cars. I love the easiness and convenience they bring to my life, but I seem to have the worst luck with them. I've been in 3 wrecks in the 6 years that I've been driving (2 of which were not my fault) and I've had endless repairs and minor issues. Last night when I was leaving Meg's (I'll get there in a minute) I started to drive away only to hear these awful noises when I hit any bump, no matter how minor. This led to calling AAA, waiting for a tow truck, and then driving back to Athens hoping that other drivers wouldn't look at my too weird when I hit little bumps in the highway. It was comical.

Now today, I've dropped my car off across the street and have since been without one. Luckily everything around me is within walking distance and the whole area has sidewalks and is walking friendly or else I'm not sure what I would have done. I would look like a wandering nomad, I suppose.

But alas, the car will be fixed and I will again have convenience in my life. Hopefully I can go another few months without car issues.

Now the good: I cannot tell you how nice it is to know that I can see Meg whenever I want. Meg (as most of you know) is one of my best friends and she just happens to live a little over an hour from me in Atlanta. We lived together for over two years and to say the least we feel extremely comfortable around one another. I know that if I would ever need anything she would be there in a sec to help me (and vice-versa.) How nice. :)

Mom left yesterday. :( I dropped her off at the Atlanta airport before I met up with Meg. I cannot thank her enough for all of the cleaning and buying she did while she was here. Even when she got home last night and all day today she's been helping me with this car mess. I could not do it without my family (even Seth. haha.)

xoxo.
