The mid-term that almost didn't happen!

I'm going to school online, which is really hard when your internet is down. I went to the library, but for some reason they wouldn't trust the server certificate from the school, which is weird because they usually do. Finally got on, and then the school site went down. Frustration.
Went to Safeway the next day, to use the wifi. Turns out their wifi is mostly so you can shop @ Safeway.com, and if you want to do homework, it kicks you off every 15 min. Further frustration. In all that getting kicked off, I didn't get to look up the exact location of my mid-term. Babysitting expired, and I had to get home.
My wonderful boyfriend Will came over the next day (the day of the test)and fixed the internet. BLESS YOU, WILL! When I got back on, I realized the mid-term was at a campus in another town! I don't drive, and I realized with a panic that if I waited for the babysitter to arrive, I would be SOOO late, I'd miss the test.
More blessings to Will, who stayed until the sitter arrived (and stayed on, and cooked dinner!).
I jetted out the door, and pedaled like mad to the train station...
FLAT TIRE! No kidding. So I ran to the station, missed the train, got the next one, and got to the Rose Quarter transit center just in time for the last possible bus to get me there on time. Stupid bus never came. 7 min later, I was in a sweaty panic.
Thinking fast, I hopped another train to downtown, caught a different bus, and actually made it on time!
Phew!
Still waiting on the test results...
