Get to Know Me Tag

I don’t know where I found this, and I assume most of you know me a little bit, but this looked fun and I liked tags so who cares? Are you named after anyone? Nope When was the last time you cried? Today maybe? I have a fever, and I tend to have watery, hot eyes when sick.

My Birthday: A Short List of Events

Here’s what happened on my eighteenth birthday (at least, this is what I remember happening): Woke up sporadically until about 4-5 am, when I actually woke up and finished my English essay. Attempted and failed to straighten my hair.

I Failed: My First Driving Test

Yup, that’s right. I failed. And I’m okay with it. Failing is okay. BESIDES I NAILED PARALLEL PARKING AND THE K-TURNS AND THE BACKING UP STRAIGHT STUFF. Here’s what I did wrong: turns. Turns. Turns.

My Twelfth Driving Lesson: Time to Bring in the Professionals

I finally got actual lessons from an actually qualified instructor. They were two hours long and I got to use their fancy car and it was great. I basically did exactly what I usually do, which is drive around my town and my high school, but I got to learn how to parallel park properly and things like that. It was really nice, because it … Continue reading My Twelfth Driving Lesson: Time to Bring in the Professionals
