R.I.P. chunsamobile. hello change.

Last week, I wake up mentally planning out what I needed to get done that day.  I had a lot to do.  My plan was thwarted by a reckless, uninsured driver/neighbor who somehow ‘backed uo’ and totalled the entire end of my Corolla.  Not only did she hit it, she somehow pushed it up the hill aboug 5-6 feet.  I didn’t even know this happened.  I was still in ‘wakeup mode’ when my mom went outside then came back in and was frantically shouting at me to come outside.  Irritated, I asked why.  She said that someone had hit my car.   I wasn’t expecting the damage to be that bad.    God.  I felt like I couldn’t breathe when I saw how badly it was hit.  As if that wasn’t bad enough, the girl who hit my car supposedly didn’t speak English that well so she had her roommate/aunt talk for her before she could come back from wherever she’d gone and the older woman would not tell us the name of her insurance company.  When she was being stubborn with providing that information, I knew that the girl didn’t have insurance. 

So now here I am.  1+ week later and carless.  Had to return the rental earlier this week b/c my insurance company said that 5-8 days is the norm on the length of having a rental and that I’d probably have to pay out of my pocket if I wanted to use it for a longer period of time.  The adjustor said that I’ll probably get a check for the car by Tuesday (or I believe that’s what he said-it was difficult to understand his apathetic mumbling on the phone). 

On Monday, as I sat in my cubicle at work (just as I am right now), I was hit with a pang of nostalgia.  I miss walking down streets, even if the weather isn’t agreeable.  I miss the sounds of the city.  And I miss being in a city during the autumn season.  Then as if this was all planned out for me, the car was deemed totalled by the adjustor and a girl I worked with in Korea who lives in New York is desperate to move out of her parent’s place.  We both want the same things out of our ideal apartment and so this might actually work out.  She doesn’t mind dogs so I could bring Honey with me.  YESSS!  Now I just need to find a job.
