So i have a few articals of news for you all. A good one and one that could have been really bad.
First lets start ourselves off with some good news. Ive offically spent the money to pay the fee and managed to apply for college again!! Im looking at going into pastry arts and the program i applied for is just under two years long and has a very affordable fee for tuition!! And plus it has dorms!! This is something ive been contemplating for months and even went to the programs open house (which was to DIE for!!) Heres for praying i make it in ;)
If i do i will offically be the happiest person on earth!

Now for the news that could have gone south very quickly. I got a message from my dad on monday that only showed pictures of a potential nightmare come true. My dad being my dad didnt send an explanation so i called in a panic to make sure he was alright. In the photos it showed his entire truck and trailer bent in a ditch with his entire trailer several inches off the ground. Just the sight of them sent a chill down my spine as i had no clue if my dad was alright or not. Mind you the whole thing could have been worse and there could have been much more damage done.

(Note both sets of wheels on the trailer arent touching the ground)
Let me put this out there first. My dad is alright. A bit shook up and frustrated but all together sound. His truck... well we havent an estimate on the damage done yet but it is still drivable. Some idiot apparently tried to turn in front of my dad the same direction my dad was turning and managed to cut him off so my dad in response slammed on the breaks and mannaged to stop his truck from sliding into oncoming traffic at the risk of damaging his own truck instead. The guy never stopped to see if my dad was ok. In fact i dont think anyone really did until the paramedics and tow truck arrived on the scene. Everyone hold your loved ones a little closer tonight. I know i certainly will be. And please try and avoid the idiots on the road :fl

Wonderful news on school! It sounds like you may have finally found something that you can really put your heart into and show how awesome you really are!!

Hate to hear that about your dad but very glad that he’s okay. Hope that it isn’t too expensive to fix. Unfortunately, the other driver is quite dangerous anymore.

Do they do interviews? I'm sure you'll get in, you have a varied and interesting background, not just some kid coming out of high school that thinks they might like to try pastry arts. We'll all be glad to sample your projects :)

Liked the post for the school part and the part where your Dad wasn't hurt. Looks like he jackknifed pretty hard but if the undercarriage didn't get ripped up going off the road maybe there isn't too much damage. :fl
