The car salesmen who doesn't sell

So, I found my perfect car online. I have been looking to buy a Honda Civic, around a 2001. And I found one online. I call the dealer to see if it still for sale. Yep, but he's taking it to auction. It has been on his lot for some time now and he hasn't been able to sell it (so he says). I cross my fingers it will be there when I go home for Thanksgiving and can check it out.

I guess a miracle happened, because according to one of my friends, when a car goes to auction, it sells. But, when I return home and plan on going to check it out, it is still there. I head up to Toledo with my dad and we call about 45 mins before we get there. Yes, the car is still there and the man is nice enough to give us directions.

We arrive. I car is sitting in the lot. We get out, look it over- maybe been rear-ended and fixed up, but looks good. We go in and ask for the keys to the car.
"The 2002 Honda Civic? I just sold it wholesale online to a dealer in Indiana."
"In Indiana? Where?" (Thinking I could track it down).
"One of the big dealers."
"In Indianapolis?"
"Yes."
My dad pipes up "How long ago did you sell it?"
"About 30 mins ago. Sorry, it was just sitting on my lot for 4 months now and I've got to make money."
We walked out, a little confused and frustrated. "Fine, if he doesn't what to sell the car to me, I don't want to buy it from him."

Something was/is fishy. But I guess it's not my place to know. I have a good story to tell about a user car salesman. And I plan on tracking the car. Currently, it can be found online right here: the same place it has been "for the past four months".

Crazy Times

Sorry , I have nothing special today. It's been...and interesting day and I have no motivation to write something purposeful here. But since I said I would blog everyday, here's my blog for day 16. I'll leave you with my away message for the night.

"Here I am, Lord, and I’m drowning in your sea of forgetfulness
The chains of yesterday surround me
I yearn for peace and rest
I don’t want to end up where You found me
And it echoes in my mind, keeps me awake tonight
I know You’ve cast my sin as far as the east is from the west
And I stand before You now as though I’ve never sinned
But today I feel like I’m just one mistake away from You leaving me this way"

"Tonight I'm so alone
This sorrow takes ahold
Don't leave me here so cold
(Never want to be so cold)
...
Don't leave me alone
Cause I barely see at all
Don't leave me alone, I'm

Falling in the black
Slipping through the cracks
Falling to the depths can I ever go back
Dreaming of the way it used to be
Can you hear me
Falling in the black
Slipping through the cracks
Falling to the depths can I ever go back
Falling inside the black
Falling inside falling inside the black"

The 17 days of life at TU

My countdown chain is shrinking. Including today, there are 17 more days until my last final (December 12th). To commemorate these final 17 days, I am going to blog each day (this also gives me a good excuse to procrastinate since I have a BAD case of senioritis).

Today I guess I'll share just a bit about my thanksgiving. I was able to go home after keeping stats for a rematch of last year's NAIA Women's Elite Eight game with Taylor and Cedarville. But this time the result was a little different.

At home, I just chilled with my family, grandparents and my sister's friend. I got to see my brother for the first time since May and watch him play in two basketball games. I also went car shopping, but that story will be for another day this week. Coming home, I stopped at a friend's apartment for a while and watched Transformers. It is a great movie, but totally for guys! I have got to say, good friends are rare for me to find. And in this case, I think spending time with this friend has re-energized me for the rest of these 17 days.

So, stay tuned for my last 17 days as a Taylor student and the last days of my undergraduate degree!!

One month

First, it has been one month since my last post. Whoops. I have had a lot going on personally and haven't really had anything worth sharing. But that is not the one month I'm here to talk about.

One month from today, December 12th, at 10am, I will be finished with my undergraduate degree. Now, that is not the official end of the semester, but that is when my last final will be over. As of right now, I have no job options, but I'm still in the process of sending out my resume. I am so ready to be finished. I am so ready to be out on my own, doing what I want to do.

One more month...30 days...19 days of classes...almost there...I think I can make it.
