So many students worry about graduating on time. At some point late last spring, I stopped panicking. All those fears came back to me ten-fold this past January.
Funny thoughts infiltrate the mind when one is in such a traumatic situation.
As I was waiting for the ambulance, though, I couldn't help worrying about how I was going to finish the class, and the coming spring term, while trying to recover. I was genuinely lucky - in more ways than one. Most people don't survive being thrown out of a moving vehicle. Those that do most likely wouldn't have been back at school a week later. Moving was painful and slow.
