I just found a pack of Twizzlers in my bag - SCORE!
How is it July already? Didn't school just end? Summer can NOT be half over already!
Last week my sister and I went to get our drivers licenses. She's 16, I'm 21. We do things differently, you can say. I'm glad I finally got it, it's about time! Today I went out with my mom, and on our way home she drove into the empty parking lot by the subway, and told me to drive. I drove around for maybe 10, 15 minutes, getting the hang of it. It was slightly terrifying, but also slightly fun. I still don't like the idea of being in control of such a large, powerful vehicle, but I'm going to have to get used to it I suppose. I feel so... grown up.
I'm been out a couple times recently with Marcie and Vlada, since they're both back in the city. We've been friends since elementary school, and we still get along so well. It's pretty great to have those girls around :) We saw Away We Go on Friday, which I really liked. It's been getting mixed reviews, but we all enjoyed it. It was funny, and sweet, and John Krasinski and Maya Rudolph were both really good.
My summer reading is going alright. I lost steam with Catch 22 a while ago. I was liking it, but I just never felt motivated to pick it up and read, so I'm giving it a break. Maybe I'll go back to it one day. Now I'm reading A Spot of Bother, which is really good and funny. It's the second book by Mark Haddon, who wrote The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time. I'm also rereading the entire Series of Unfortunate Events, because those books are hilarious and quick to read, and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, which I want to finish before the movie comes out next week.
Tomorrow passes for the Toronto International Film Festival go on sale, and course selection is Tuesday! I am very excited for both of these.
