well that sucks.

Car accidents suck. Especially when you are on your way to having the best day of your life, something like this has to happen. Just my luck. Here's the story:
On my way to skydiving with Blake, roads were wet from rain that just came through. I was getting on the I-35 entrance ramp from 1604 loop just outside San Antonio, almost missing the exit because of my nasty daydreaming habit I have. So I get on the ramp, and say to Blake, "God I'm a horrible driver." where he proceeded to say "No you're not, your a good driver." The ramp was 45mph speed limit, because it wasnt that tight of a turn you had to make. I however, was going 40, maybe less cuz there were cars infront of me. But just as he said that, my car starts to fishtail because it couldnt get traction with the tires on the pavement. So I try to correct it, and end up overcorrecting it a little bit which caused it to fishtail even more. Then stupid me panics and slams on the breaks.. which I know you are not supposed to do, but I did it anyway. That caused me to completely turn my car perpindicular to the road, and skid over to the side barrier, and of course, crash right into it. It was like slow motion, as we were skidding closer and closer to it, it seemed like forever, like you just wanted to stick your hands out the window and stop the car from hitting it. Blakes head crashed thru the window, as the door collided with his hip. I just got a small whiplash in my neck, he has a bruised hip and cant walk on it without it hurting him. It just sucks. Damages according to one place is costing $4000, and so we took it to another place, and hopefully its around $2500, if not, bye bye car. :-(
