driving entry part 2//other things
this really is more for documentation purposes, i.e., to help me remember.
i drove FROM school to my house. :D yahoo! although i dozed off for around a second a couple of times (one time i almost hit the car in front of me hahaha), i think im actually confident enough to drive on my own. my habits are improving (checking the side mirrors constantly, making sure im one car's length away from the car in front of me, slowing down when there are curves and when im going downhill, etc.) and i think im actually gonna be driving alone in around 2 or 3 weeks. YAHOO!
as an aside, i'd like to say that i now know FROM EXPERIENCE (ohyeah) why driving long distances is hard. gotta be focused all the time (even when youre stopped) and your foot's gotta be ready to brake/gas up whenever you need too. nakakangawit pag naka-ready all the time yung paa mo. practice really helps though.
--------------------------------
milestones, milestones. today i started my (serious) path to weight loss. did this cause i wanted to wear a certain shirt to school today, but found out it doesn't fit me anymore. over the weekend, i will separate the shirts/other clothes i cant wear anymore from the ones i can in an effort to make me more motivated. sayang naman lahat nun kung di na masusuot. i probably will take out more than half of what's in my closet, but i guess the more, the better.
in other things, i decided not to do something i've been wanting to. it's better this way, no pressure, and if it will happen, then it will. i still want it to (not-so-secretly) but im thinking im only setting myself up for regret. i dont think it's gonna happen anytime soon anyway (you can tell with these things, just because). we'll see.
why im writing while im panicking with all my work is beyond me. back to work!
