it was a sign!

I had studied for my test somewhat over the weekend, but not enough to confidently answer what was probably going to be asked of me. I had taken on another commitment, I was trying to get a spec'ing project for a men's wear line done, the deadline was Monday and the samples had to go to China that day. I am not in the practice of letting other folks down (just myself apparently), so I finished the project, and was too drained to focus on studying.
As I woke up the next morning I immediately felt nervous and irritated that I had not spent the time I should have on studying. I had class that evening and now there would be only one evening that I would be able to dedicate to hitting the books. 
I hesitantly drove to work. I needed gas so I pulled into get gasoline and as I was finishing up I noticed that I needed to hurry up and go before someone blocked me in. As I was getting into my car some loser blocked me in...I got out of my car and asked him if he could just pull forward so I could get out, I had a big smile and asked nicely. He said "What you can't back out, come on", I immediately got pissed and said, "oh you mean back into the mini mart and back on up into traffic on melrose..thanks allot dick." He must not have heard the last part cause he got into his truck and pulled out for me to go around. He deserved no thank you from me. The situation just made me even more irritated than I already was.
I pulled into the garage at work and turned my car off, got out and noticed the break lights were shining bright as though a ghost were in my car pushing down on the break peddle. I got back in did a double check of all systems, got back out...still shining bright.... they weren't going off. I thought to myself this is going to drain my freaking battery. Very irritated now, I called my mechanic and told him I was coming in. The lights were still shining bright once I got to the mechanic. He said he would take a look and give me a call later. 
I live within walking distance of my mechanic, thank goodness. And on my walk home I got to thinking...someone is  obviously looking out after me....this was a sign.... to go home and study all day.

OH..and my car needed a new break light switch...only $75.00..thank goodness for that too.

P.S. person watching out after me... I A'ced the test!
