The Four Wheeled Beast
I haven't been behind of the wheel since June of last year. Yesterday, I saw a kid who is TWO grades behind me driving...and said screw this, I'm 18 and I'm gonna drive before the end of this year if it kills me.
So today, my Dad took me up to the school parking lot to drive around a bit. I'm doing a lot better than I was, although I'm still convinced that wide left turns, and reverse are the works of the devil. I've gotten better at parking too, so it wasn't a total loss.
If the damn instructor from the school ever calls, I'll be able to get true driving lessons. My Dad's been teaching me so far, and it's been great, but it's kinda difficult to understand exactly what he wants me to do...his commands are pretty vague..."Watch it", "Turn a bit".
Watch what? How much of a bit? Ah well...he did say that I'm doing a lot better than before, and I know for a fact that I'm much more relaxed. We'll just have to see.
Other than that, nothing much has gone on this weekend. Pit met yesterday. Some of the songs are coming along pretty well, but there are a few that sound terrible. The muscial is in less than two weeks, so we're really gonna have to start pounding.
Speaking of two weeks, we're going to Con the Sunday after the musical. I think I'm just going to dig out my Iruka halloween costume and go as him. It's too much work to put together an entire other costume in such short time. I don't mind, but I would have liked to have gone as one of the Gotei 13, ah well, there's always next year.
We went into IUP for their "Unity Day" celebration on Saturday too. It was supposed to have a whole bunch of different booths with stuff and people from all different countries, like a little Epcot. But when we got there, it was near closeing time and they were doing a fashion show. Most of the booths had alreay been torn down, so it was kind of a waste.
Yup...that's about all. *leaves this post on that encredibly lame note*
