Accidents and Accomplishments

Last Wednesday, I was in a horrible car accident. I must have just been too tired or used to driving a rental car (while on business in LA) and I slammed on the clutch instead of the brake and pushed a pickup truck with the hood of my car for about 10 feet. My car is messed up– but everyone was okay. I’m a little shell-shocked.

And, I paid off my college student loans today. My final two years of college I watched in horror as my student loan debt increased. I worked hard over the summers to put all the money I could towards the balance. But at the end, I ended up taking out over $20K in loans. It was hard then, to imagine paying them off and I remembered being depressed until a Professor told me how much she had in debt with undergrad + grad school loans. “You’ll just pay off a little at a time…it’s not a big deal.” It made me feel a lot better. Still, I feel GREAT to have paid them off completely, and like she said, I paid them off a little at a time.

On Tuesday I will travel to Beverly Hills to meet with the senior staff of FOX Interactive. It could possibly be the biggest meeting of my life. I bought a new suit and got a haircut to ensure I look snappy.
