Small Victories

I was late to class today and they were already at the track when I got there (we run every day). I was 5 minutes late! So I get down there and she is at the end of explaining what we are doing today and I didn't understand, so I went up to her and asked what we are doing today. She looks at me and says, "Are you late?" I say yes and she said, "You missed all my directions." And I looked at her and said, "Yes." I was very assertive and it felt really good! Normally I might have moseyed around it and gave her some excuse. But I didn't do that. I just stood my ground. I was barely late and she didn't have to be yucky! When we got back to class she called me up and gave me a dot next to my name. I guess that means late... oooh, scary! :) She was like, "yep, that's what happens!" I thought that to be highly amusing. She felt as though she was punishing me... I thought it was funny! :)

On my way home a car tried to kill me. I was at a stop light in the far right lane. The entire other side of the street after the intersection was full and so I was waiting. The light turned green for me and so I started to go (cause my lane had cleared up) and this car making a right turn is looking toward the direction he is going (instead of oncoming traffic) and tries to turn into the lane to my right which is completely full! So, he stops, right in my lane! I honked at him and he was like, "what?" it was so annoying! It's not a hard rule... don't stop in a lane when there is oncoming traffic! As well as you aren't supposed to block an intersection! And the one he should have learned long ago, look both ways! :) Oh well! I'm alive! :)

P.s. I am hating running less! It's a pretty day today!
