Road Skills

Finished my first behind the wheel today! It wasn't as bad as I thought. My instructor lady was nice, but she could've cut out all the minty gum she was chewing (minty smells are overwhelming when you're stuck in a car with the windows rolled up!).

I have to work on my turns (kinda sharp) and my stops (pretty 'jerky') but, overall, it went a lot better than I thought it would considering that I have practically NO practice whatsoever (does 20 minutes even count?) The lady wished that I had at least 15 hours of practice BEFORE I had my first behind the wheel thing. I did too. BUT, I got a lot better as time went along. The lady (I'll call her Cherry--her hair was a rusty red color) said that I need a months practice (12-15 hours) before my next behind the wheel (which will be in downtown St. Paul. I heart that place, sooo pretty). She also said that the other instructors are retired 60 year old men so....I'll ask for her next time. I don't want to be stuck in a car with one of those old dudes (not to be rude or anything, but, I don't really like/trust old men teachers).

Anyways, tonight I was thinking of going (wait....DRIVING) to Target and the library. Target because I want to get a pair of gray jeans. Idk what colored jeans goes better with a red top. Should I go with gray or a whitish/light, light tan color? I'll get both. And I HAVE to get going on reading these 2 dumb books for English (we get summer assignments. Yeah, I know. Stupid). So, gonna pick those up and finish them before school starts.

I told myself I wouldn't procrastinate on any projects in highschool (I was sooooo bad at getting things done in middle school. I usually had to rush the night before to get a huge project done. For your FYI, don't do that. It's not worth the stress). But, summer doesn't count, right? So I have an excuse for giving myself a little slack now and then :)

Ooooo, we're having KFC tonight!! YUM! :)))))))))

WTYL,
