Day 3: One Eventful Friday

So I'm writing this a few days late because my weekend was fairly eventful.  I know I said I would do this everyday, but shit happens...

So On Friday my friends and I planned to go to first Friday, which is an event that is held on every first Friday of the month in downtown Oakland.  It was the first Friday of the year, so we were pretty excited to go.  However on the way there my friends were involved in a car accident on the freeway and I had to witness it.  It was so scary, and even though I wasn't in the car with them I felt like I could lose them.  The car lost control and spent around right in front of me, and I had to swerve out of the way.  I would've hit them if I wouldn't have swerved.  The car eventually stopped in the middle of the freeway and was facing incoming traffic and only one car hit them.  No one was badly injured and for that they are truly blessed.  The situation could have been a lot worse and thankfully it wasn't.

So obviously we never made it to first Friday, but I'm sure it was fun and there will be others.  I dropped off some of my friends and my sister and I went to my other friends house.  Then we went to get food.  Taco Truck! After we got back we talked about how the situation was such a wake up call and that life is way too short.  I realized you can lose people at any moment so you must appreciate them and love them while they are still here.  Also I thought it was kind of funny that I took my sister out to have some fun because she doesn't get out much and that happens.  I'm hoping she doesn't take that as some sort of cosmic sign to not leave the house.

Lastly I thought I'd write a little more about day 2.  I hung out with 3 of my friends from high school that I hadn't seen in a while.  We went to San Francisco and we got to eat and catch up.  I found out that they think I party too much.  I don't think I party too much I mean I'm in college I'm supposed to be partying right?  We took an Uber for the first time and I freaked out because they told me it was a taxi and, well it's not exactly a taxi.  My understanding of it is it's a person's personal car and they have a GPS that shows you where they are on a map and you tell them your location and they pick you up.  It's similar to a taxi, but I guess I freaked out because it's someone's personal car and I started thinking too much. I was hyperventilating in the back seat it was pretty sad.  My friends just laughed at me.  My other friend was freaking out about how much it would cost and started planning her escape out of the window.  It was a fun day and I was really happy to see them.
