After getting to campus only to find a state of emergency cancelled classes while en route, I blew a head gasket on way home.

I was going to CMU then, and I had to run out there to oick up some papers. My car wouldn't start. My parents were on vacation, so I took their car from the warm garage.

I got the stuff I needed, and made it back to the car in about 30 minutes. In that time, something froze, and the car wouldn't start. It was also then that I realized I had left my wallet on the passenger seat of my car when I had tried to start it at home. So I was stuck in Oakland with no cash, no credit card, and no ID.

After about 15 minutes of attempting to start the car, it finally came to life. Just amazed me that it went from functional to frozen in such a short time.
