Hey!

I'd like to direct your attention to the upper right hand corner of the screen. *dramatic music* I added a banner for the Fantasy Fiction Tour. It's on the West coast this time so I'm pretty jazzed about the whole thing. Anyway, click it and look at their website when you get a chance. It's really a neat thing I think.

I had my last day of Driver's Ed class today! The teacher gave us candy *laughs* She said we'd been a great class. I just have two drives left, and then I'll be graduated. One of them is the mock drive test and I'm pretty nervous about that. You have to get over 80 to pass the class and you get two chances to take it.

Anyway, I went and applied for a passport yesterday at our courthouse. They said it should only take two or three weeks because they've been doing them really fast lately. I might be going on a mission's trip in October, but my mom thinks it's too dangerous an area. We have to decide this week. I'll post more about it if my parents decide to let me go.

What I've been up to.

Hey, Well I don't know if anyone still reads my blog. My posting has been a bit erratic.

I guess I should give y'all the lowdown on what I've been doing lately. I had a temporary job giving out ample in the end of June which was a lot of fun. I met a lady who taught NaNo, a pro paintball player, and a lot of other interesting people. The actual giving out samples is pretty boring after a while, but hey, it payed pretty well. My favorite part was getting to throw the ice in the sink in the back at the end of my shift. It's just something about the sound it makes when it hits the bottom of the sink. I know, as my oldest brother tells me, I am "easily amused." I made a lot of friends working at our grocery store. It's so different working because no one is really trying to impress anyone else and you all are there and have to do this job. There's no cliques or anything if you know what I mean.

I started Driver's Ed. a few weeks ago. *deep breath* I hate the drives. Really, I do everything I could possibly ever do wrong when I'm in that car. Well, not everything, butyou get the picture. I try really hard. The hour seems to go so slow. I get all nervous and sweaty too. *shivers* My teacher scares me. The class itself is all right. They're making me do a boatload more of work than my older brothers ever had to do. It's insane. My mom says my driving is better. I drove her to our dog training yesterday and she seemed impressed. I guess I just have to look for the light at the end of the tunnel. One day, I'll have my license and all this will seem worth it. Driving is so hard though. Driver's Ed is so annoying because I'm missing out on so much I wanted to do.

God has been doing something in my life. It's really incredible, but I'll save that for another post post as I think it deserves it's own :P
