To whom it may concern:

In one month exactly, I shall be turning 18. I will legally become an adult (although I've been one mentally for a while I presume). My birthday falls on election day this year. I am online finding out where I registar to vote and if I can vote since I will turn 18 on election day. I'm also trying to figure out if it cost money to get my license (you know, that $10 fee they made me pay last time?).

I will be an adult, legally, in one month, today. (November 8th.) And that is quite scary. There are a lot of things that come with being 18. And a senior in high school. I'm looking for colleges, getting recommandation letters, starting the application process, fighting with my mother on how I'm going to pay for college.

Also, I'm fighting with my mother to drive. I've been driving enough to know how to drive (with minor mistakes here and there). But I haven't been given enough practice and am not allowed to drive on my own just yet. I talked to my mother this morning about such things. I'm in the play and there are bound to be practices on saturdays. I need to get to school and with my brother, it's quite difficult getting from point A to point B. I also am invited to friends' houses sometimes, and I am tired of asking my mother to drop me off. I'm tired of having to deal with the eventual fight with my brother. Mother will not allow me to drive with anyone my own age just yet. So how am I going to get places when the majority of my friends and carpool people all drive themselves now? I made it clear to my mother that I need to drive soon. That I will drive to school when I need to (weekend practice, late night concerts, late concerts, ect), that I will need to drive with someone my own age soon, that people will drive with me. She knew it was coming, but damn it! I'm holding my ground.

I will be getting my license the week or two after my birthday. I will have it in my hand by the end of November.

Also, now I'm planning for how I want to spend my birthday. My birthday is on a Tuesday. I will be in school. But the weekend before and the weekend after (a four day weekend), I want something good. Its my 18th birthday and I want it to be the best yet! Katie and Charles will be coming over. I don't know when and I don't know what we are doing. But it's all good. I'm happy.

So I'm old. Older than I thought I was and my high school mortality is kicking in and I'm scared to go off to college. I'm excited, but I'm scared. I leave a good amount of my friends behind. Luckly, Katie and I seem to be planning to go to the same college, so we'll have a blast together. Hopefully. And Charles is a junior, he'll still be in high school when I leave. So will a majority of my friends. But every thing will work out in the end. It has to!

On another topic, I have to read around 30 pages of Fahrenheit 451, write several journal entries and write a title analysis. I may even work on my english paper due in two weeks. Who knows? I'm trying to get all my homework done so that Katie and/or Charles can come over this weekend. (Charles was supposed to come over today but couldn't and Katie and I were supposed to walk Main Street but it seems like it'll be raining all weekend. We'll see.)

So I guess my talking and rambling is finished. That's all. Thank you.
