My shitty snow day

Oy! Nine inches of snow are a bitch! As I was driving down to school today, several things went wrong: first, at the corner of Livernois and Wattles, I temporarily lost control of my car during a left turn and bounced off of a curb. (Isn't that why they're there?) About halfway during the trip, a man in an SUV told me that my front-right tire was going flat, the same tire that took the brunt of the curb impact! I made it down to Wayne State as quickly and safely as possible, and with the assistance of AAA and Wayne State Public Safety, replaced the tire with a spare. When I took the car to Goodyear Tire, I found out that the tire was fine, and the curb encounter barely affected my alignment. So I wasted the whole day cold and not in class, because of the testimony of some random guy. Damn you, Mister Trying-To-Be-Helpful!

(If you're wondering if I checked the tire before I called AAA, the answer is yes. It looked fine to me, but I figured it looked worse as I was driving.)
