Bastian

So... apparently for college graduation, my parents help us out with a new (used) car.

I didn't know this until this morning.

My dad mentioned a place in town was having a used car sale with a trade in offer of at least $1000 (which my car wasn't even close to being worth).

I asked my dad what used cars typically go for since I don't have too much money for one.

And he said, "well no, it's for graduation.  We did this with all of the kids"

Wow.

So I am now the owner of a 2006 silver Cobalt.

I named him Sebastian.

We traded in Dmitri... who was completely falling apart.  That saturn was so old and making so many scary noises and leaking so many fluids.  I was terrified to drive anywhere.

Dad said, "I know graduation isn't until May, but it's obvious you will graduate and I dont think Dmitri will last that long."

That was not what I expected to be doing today!  But I am not complaining!
