Stupid Car!

So my car has been stupid for awhile, but its just recently really gotten bad. The cord that connects the alternator to the battery I guess doesn't connect quite right. So sometimes the battery light inside the car comes on while I'm driving. Since I know what the problem is I usually just pull over and jiggle the cord a bit to get the connection right again. But recently this hasn't really been working. Before I left for Dallas last week it took a really long time to fix and when it finally did it was fine the whole time I was gone. But then with only a few more hours to drive on the way home it came on again. And it hasn't gone off since except for a few minutes after I pulled over one time. But now tonight I tried fixing it again and it didn't work. It was dark and hard to see though, so I gave up. I'm going to try again tomorrow morning, but its going to be cold then. So hopefully it will go off. I'm getting really angry about it. And my car needs to be running for Wednesday when I have to drive to the airport to go home for Thanksgiving. So hopefully that works out. Boo to my stupid car!
