Hey guys,
I am looking forward to the reception, school, and the rest of my life, now more than ever.
Today I was driving from central Pennsylvania from my girlfriend's house back to Philly, where I go to college. I was driving down a two lane road at a moderate speed b/c the road was slushy and Icey from snow and freezing rain. Everything was going OK, until I felt my car to start to veer off to the right side of the road, I must have hit some black ice. I tried to gain control and steer my way out the spin. I couldn't gain control and my car spun across the middle of the road and thru the lane for oncoming traffic. Luckily no oncoming cars were in the vicinity! My car continued to slide across the opposite side of the road and down an enbankment into a lake next to the road. As soon as my car slammed into the lake I unbuckled my seat belt, unlocked the door and pushed the door open. I stood up at the edge of the car as it sank and pushed off as hard as I could leeping toward the shore. I made to the shore only being soaked from the cold water up to my thighs. I looked back as my car steadily sank to the bottom of the lake. I moved the enbankment and waved arms to signal cars to stop for help. A bunch of cars stopped, the people called for help, and made sure I was ok. I thank God I made it out without a scratch and that people really care enough to stop and help.
I am sure my car must be totaled, but I am sure it will all work out with my insurance. It feels so great to be healthy and alive. I'm still a little shaken. Events like this make life seem a little brighter.
Anyway good luck to all, and hope to see you all soon in good health.
