heifer.
so girls cant drive, eh? yes, it pisses me off when people say that. i'm really (i promise) not trying to be a femi-nazi when i get mad about it, either. i get mad because it's not true. i get mad because driving is just one of those things that i adore, and for people to tell me that i cant/shouldnt do it REALLY BUGS ME. an insane amount.
last semester, my class went on a trip to abingdon for a day and night. professor (female) asks who would like to drive (2 12 seater vans). being the eager little kid that i am, my hand shoots up. she smiles and nods. and later on, hands the keys to 2 guys. and then had the audacity to tell me on the drive back that, "i trust you, i really do. but it's a safety issue." soooo....trust does not encompass entrusting someone with your safety? oooh, right.
i have the same professor for a different class this semester. wonderful lady, really. she hands me the papers to pick up a van from the motor pool a couple of days ago (we leave at 7am for abingdon again). and i'm thinking, wow, maybe i had it all wrong. well i go to pick up the van, and i see another guy from my class there picking up the other van. i get the keys only to find out she had given me the mini-van, and him the 12 seater.
MAYBE IF I TAKE ANOTHER CLASS WITH THIS LADY SHE'LL ACTUALLY TRUST ME.
but allahu alam (God knows best), right? so yeah. i'm trying (failing really, but trying anyway) not to be so ticked off.
by the way, i like having 3 cars. not that i actually have 3 cars. but i've got my momma's van, aasima's car (which she has given me permission to use whenever), and that state van sitting right outside my apartment. sure sure, it's only temporary. but, gotta say, it feels a little gangsta. (Hahahahah)
