Dr. Berry made it quite clear at the beginning, “late outlines will not be
\naccepted.” (We used to have to outline each chapter of, freak…what was the
\nname of that textbook?… So one day, I had Snow White and the Seven Dwarves
\nin the morning, so I didn’t go to class that day. I still had to turn in the
\noutline, however, which I had yet to type up. So I went home, typed it up
\nreal quick, and sped to school to try to get it there before 5 pm. I was
\nstopped at the light at Shelton Beach Rd… CRAIGIE! that’s it. anyway, I
\nwas at Shelton Beach and 45, waiting for the light to turn when all of the
\nsudden I felt the car lurch and the (ouch) sound of metal crunching. I spun
\naround to see a truck that had backed into the side of my car. Ouch again.
\n The black guy who was driving it, stopped and got out to look at the damage
\nhe’d created. “Well,” I said to him after getting out of my own vehicle, “I
\nwasn’t expecting to bump into you today.” He laughed. He thought it was so
\nfunny that he told it to the cop who finally showed up and my dad who was
\nnice enough to drive up and be there with me. Hmm.. I just remembered that I
\nhad a wreck on the way home from Cinderella this last year too. My track
\nrecord of accidents and plays hasn’t been too good. Anyway, I’ve had so many
\naccidents that another one didn’t do too much to shake me. It was nice
\nhaving dad there, though. The black guy offered to take the car up the road
\nto “a friend” of his to get it fixed right away. The cop was like, well, if
\ny’all are going to settle it yourselves, _I_ don’t need to be here. And
\nleft. So we drove up the road, but the place had closed. Dad found out that
\nthis black guy was going to seminary on the side, so he said for the guy not
\nto worry about it and that he’d pay for the damages and write it off as a
\ncontribution to this guy’s education. So when that was all squared away, I
\nFINALLY continued on to the school to drop off my outline. But Dr. Berry’s
\ndoor was shut and locked.<\/p>\n
I appealed to him the next class period. He was quite forgiving. He only
\ntalks tough.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
