School has officially started and all I can
say is AAAHHHHH! My wise mother took my I-pod and camera away for this first week
of school so as to not have any distractions. Just in the first few days I’ve
realized I have zero abilities in drawing, know very little about U.S. history,
stumble on my words when speaking in front of people, and confirmed I do not
like learning English. On the other hand I am a few weeks ahead in Bible class,
absolutely LOVE marine biology, am enjoying an easy beginning in pre-calculus,
and cannot wait for the drama cast list to be sent out. Latin and drama classes
won’t start up until September making life a little sweeter, but only a little.J
Yesterday I took the written portion of the
driving test and after about 20 minutes, I passed! Yea!!! Next Wednesday I will
hopefully be taking the driving portion of the test and pass. If I do pass I will
be able to finally get my license. After waiting over a year to complete the
driver’s education course, get a permit, drive 40 hours during the day and 10
at night, have 6 instructed drives, memorize the drivers manual, take a written
test, and take the driving test then and only then can I go and get my license.
What a long and drawn out process this has been. At least it is almost over.
Grayson celebrated his 10th
birthday. He wanted an I-pod touch, but there was a misunderstanding and he got
a Nano instead. We will probably return it as soon as possible so he can get
his I-pod touch. He also wanted a certain kind of Nerf gun and scooter both of
which he got. He had a Lego themed birthday with all of his church friends. If
you look in the pictures you’ll notice that he is sharing his birthday party
with his friend who also has an August birthday. The moms decided sharing the
party would be easier than to have two separate parties two weeks in a row.
