we finished another exam today– so apparently it was time to celebrate. dustin, grampa, cat, and i went out for some tea and dim sum after the exam, and half the kids from the class went out drinking later that night. i stayed at school to study with the sober ones and ended up nursing my tired neck. later in the evening, i watched an inebriated friend struggle to function while i realized why i don’t drink.

it was a quiet day, thankfully… until i drove home around 9pm. i was halfway home when i suddenly saw headlights coming towards me. it took a minute to process that i was less than a mile away from a head on collision. i quickly changed lanes, nearly hitting with someone in my blind spot. the guy honked at me a couple times, but within another minute i was past him and the crazy car going the wrong way on the street. it was a frightening experience. i spent the remainder of the drive home wondering how i could have better handled the situation. hopefully, however, i won’t have to deal with it again.

of course, with the number of drunks on the road, i’d be better off relying on my reflexes and air bags.
