Learning from Wrecking My Grandmother's Car


Last Sunday I crashed my grandmother's car into a pole at a convenience store near my church. Obviously, you can see the damage from the above picture. The car is being fixed, and everything should be okay, although I caused about $3800 in damages.

What Happened: I pulled into the parking space and stepped on the gas instead of the brake by accident.

What I Learned:

1) Accidents happen incredibly quickly. It was over pretty much before I realized what had happened.

2) I'm not as good a driver as I thought I was.

Good Aspects:

1) My first wreck didn't involve any other vehicles.

2) I know what it feels like to wreck the car now, so I don't have to wonder anymore.

3) My grandmother is in Kenya, and thus didn't have to find out right away.

I'm just grateful that my dad and I were okay, and that we didn't have any injuries, except for the big bruise that I have on my right knee from smashing it under the dash.

I think that they are still going to let me drive the car after it is fixed. This is good, since the car that I crashed is only a year old. I told my dad that I'm just happy that I wrecked it where there was a pole in front of me and not, say, our house or a concrete wall.

A New Look for the Blog....and my current piano pieces.

I was getting a little sick of the bright pink and black look on my page, so I've redone the whole thing with a background and header from shabbyblogs.com. Hope you enjoy it!

Now my current piano pieces that I'm working on.

The first one:




And the second one:







I want to see who can identify them. Please comment if you know what they are, as long as you are not one of the following people: my mother, my father, my sister, or my brother.

Hints)

1. They are both classical.
2. They are not by the same composers.


I'll post the titles and composers for you later.
