Oh my gosh. How exciting. I was just reading through old posts and felt the need to update my status! I started driving lessons this month. It was really expensive but so worth the time and money. I will be taking my drivers test in a couple of weeks, and then be getting my car insured! I will finally be a GOOD driver. Driving lessons were kind of funny. My dad is a very agressive driver, and unfortuntaly I must have picked up on a couple of his bad habits, like gunning the gas when I see an orange light. My instructor chastised me for my agressive driving enough times now, that I am very aware of speeding. I can paraleel park like a pro, and have actually practiced driving in full-on rush hour too! I am so so excited to start driving next month, and just hope I can put a cap on my spending so I have enough money for my first insurance payment!
I already have my first road trip planned and I can't wait to start driving out to Athabasca and Barrhead to visit my family more often. Since I moved to the city I only see them 4 or 5 times a year, which is rediculous seeing as how they only live an hour and a half away. And driving to school is going to be HEAVEN. Right now I am having to be up by 5AM, so I can have me and Ray out the door by 6:30am, and at school by 8. With my lisence, it will only take 20 minutes to drive to school!! SO SO EXCITED!
This really has been a life long goal for me, driving. It feels like I am still a child in so many ways, not having a lisence. For my city family functions, they always have to make arrangements to come pick me up or drop me off and it makes me feel like such a loser. I am really really proud of myself for going after this dream with everything I got, and being almost there. It's an exciting time in my life.
As for school, this term is going a bit better than last term. I am taking much harder courses, but I have way more time to work on them. I spend all day at school, in the library, actually doing my home work. I have a really freat Financial Math teacher who gives free tutoring, so I am actually thinking, I just might be able to graduate with a high mark. As I approached this term, I knew that I wanted to do things better. Last term, near the end, I totally started slacking off, but thankfully, it didn't affect my marks.
During this last school break, I didn't work. I stayed home. Took Rayz to daycare, and enjoyed cleaning my house, and doing NOTHING! It was the best thing I had ever done, and by the time school started again, I felt refreshed.
Anyhoo, better go get my baby. I miss her chubby face.
