Yes, I am a girl
So yesterday I was walking out to my car in the parking lot after being on campus for 11 hours or so. On my way to my car, I see 3 guys hanging around a truck that won't turn over. It was making the oh so familiar click sound everytime they tried to start it. Starter or battery? I walked past and asked if they needed a jump, though I had this inkling down inside my redneck car knowledge area that it was the starter. They looked at me with the "you're a girl are you crazy?" look and I stopped my car and pulled out my handy dandy jumper cables. I hooked them up in super quick mode and got this look of awe and amazement from all three guys. Lucky for them it was only the battery, but it was super dead, seeing that he left his lights on that morning and it was now almost 8pm.
And with that I was on my way. If felt good to do something nice for someone, and at the same time totally go against any stereotypes that I have for being a girl. All I have to say is mad props to my brother for calling me to jump the El Camino. That and I now also know how to change rotor and drum brakes and alternators and starters and the list goes on but I'm late for class as it is :P

Isn't it great? I love helping people get a jump, especially when they have no idea how to do it.
