2 More

2 More…

It is almost over. 2 more weeks of classes, then it is just final exams until the 17th of dec. The next two weeks are going to be incredibly crappy, however. Pharmacology I still have 2 reports to write, then I have to do some research for my forum group, and there's also one more quiz. In nutrition I have another case study due (the last one was 23 pages) and then that's about it for that one. In nursing 245, I have a research essay due on dec. 5th and I think that’s it for that class. The paper itself won’t be that bad, it’s just the research I have to do prior to actually writing it that will be the most time consuming. Then for Marriage and Family, I have nothing left but the final. So, for the next 2 weeks I’m going to be a busy guy.
I also have to fix my car sometime. While I was driving back to Langley from Kelowna my sunroof mysteriously decided to eject itself from the roof of my car. I’m serious! Don’t laugh! The glass piece flew out of the roof, and in my review mirror I could see it flipping about 25 feet in the air, strait into the ditch. I didn’t stop because it was probably obliterated by a tree or something and I would have bunged up traffic on the #1 which isn’t cool. Luckily it didn’t hit any other cars behind me.
But the thing that I’m miffed about from this whole ordeal is that a new glass piece for the sunroof costs about 850 dollars. I was told when I ‘dialed-a-claim’ that the deductible would be 300 dollars and it is covered on my insurance. I had a meeting the other day to get my car assessed, but the nice lady at ICBC informed me that it actually isn’t covered. WTF!? Thanks, ICBC, I’m so glad that I pay out my ass for insurance just so you will jerk my chain and not cover my car. I’m taking that item off my insurance because I don’t want to pay for something that isn’t even going to cover my car properly. Apparently if it was a windstorm or something it would have been covered, but because there was no windstorm that day it wasn’t covered. And Langley is just full of windstorms. I’m so glad I have that coverage because just the other day a tractor smashed into my roommates car from a giant windstorm. And my other buddy had a cow fall on his car while he was at McDonalds because a giant gust of wind picked it up from a farm about 2 kilometers down the road. I hope private insurance comes to BC because ICBC is no good.
ICBC makes hundreds of millions of dollars every year in pure profit, and yet it still costs an arm and a leg for insurance. I have just about bare bone coverage yet my twenty five hundred dollar car costs me fourteen hundred dollars to insure. That’s over 55% of the value of my vehicle I pay out every year. I’m sorry, but that sucks. It’s no wonder why people try to commit fraud or try to screw the person they get into an accident with. Money will do that.
Anyways, I could rant on for a long time about how I’m bitter about insurance. I’ll save my precious few readers the trouble. I think you all that read this that live in BC know what I’m talking about though. ICBC does more for themselves and are tough on young customers especially. There are lots of morons that are under 25 that drive like homicidal maniacs, and because of those few dorks, I have to pay. Oops, sorry. I was going to stop.
Anyways, I better get going. I’m going to call a few junkyards to see if I can find a used sunroof. Hopefully they don’t know what a new one costs and I can get one for <50 dollars. My fingers are crossed. I also have to do some research for my 245 paper. That should be fun. The real fun starts tonight when I go to Harry Potter. That movie looks awesome. I know I’m 21, but I’ve always had a thing for wizards. OK, that sounds kinky I know, but I’ve always wanted mystical powers, or super powers. Who wouldn’t?

I love you all…and I’ll try to update this more often…
