Did you know...

if you don't monitor the oil in an older car closely, eventually the motor will burn up all the oil (or something to that effect)?  I think I vaguely did, but I didn't think it was important enough to check my oil all that often.  The result of not checking my oil all that often? My motor is kaput. Gone. Useless. Broken.  It would have been one thing, not to mention bad enough, if my poor little car just couldn't drive another mile because it was old and tired.  But the fact that I basically ruined it (and I'm pretty sure it still had awhile yet to go, it was a good car) because I failed to maintain it? It's enough to make a starving student want to cry!  And then to make matters worse, my last and only set of wheels (my bicycle), got stolen last night.  And that made me want to cry all over again!  But really, now that I've had time to think things through, it's not so bad.  My sister is going to let me use her unneeded car while I'm away at school.  And I hope whoever took my bike treats it nicely, needs it more than I did, and enjoys it!
