Roadrash...


Absolutely sucks.  I got into a biking accident all by myself on the way home from my Dutch class this afternoon.  It has been raining all day and my shoes as I was biking slipped off my pedals which caused my bike to veer violently into a curb which caused me to go flying off carried with even more weight by my backpack.  Somehow even though I was wearing jeans I got roadrash and a nasty cut on one shin (and not even in the place it tore my pants!) and through my sweater I got roadrash deep enough to cause my arms to continuously seep blood for almost the past two hours....
I guess I just need to complain a bit.  Of course they don't have neosporin at the grocery store and I am sure they would have something similar at a pharmacy...if I knew where to find one of those.  I never miss my car but I have to tell you after falling like that and still having to get back up and ride the rest of the way home, this may have been the only time I have reconsidered that feeling.
Luckily for me it's the weekend so I at least don't have to physically go to class even though I will be doing homework all weekend.

Aww, this sounds terrible! So sorry! If you feel like alcohol might help the injury somehow I'm going out tonight - my digits are in my fbook profile so send me a text or call or something :)
Feel better
