Summer Officially Begins

Most of you don't know this, but summer didn't start for me until today. That's right...I've lost about a month of my summer to a Drivers Ed course that I had to take because I didn't have enough room in my schedule during the school year. Boo. They said that it would be class from 9-11 A.M. from Monday through Friday, but they lied. Right away we had to get up an hour earlier to drive out on the range before class, and then we had to sign up (during times when we didn't have class) to drive out on the road with an instructor in two hour increments. So really we could be there anywhere from two hours (minimum) to six hours a day, depending on when you signed up to drive. I repeat...boo!
However, classes ended yesterday and I am proud to report that I passed the driving test! Woot woot! If I hadn't been such a dingle-berry and waited until I was already 16 to get my PERMIT (not my license) than I could have my license as soon as the class ended, but no, I waited until the day classes started to get my permit. What effect does that have you ask? Well, now I have to wait until December 8th to get my license. That serves a problem seeing as I have early morning seminary next year (that's the only place it could work if I wanted to take that class because, yet again, I have a jam packed schedule next year what with Academy of Finance and all) and I need a way to get there in the morning. My parents can't drive me because they both go to work about the same time I leave for school, and as of now I know no one down here on the west side that is taking early morning. Dang.

Despite all of that though, I am officially excited because NOW, on July 2nd, summer begins! I don't have to wake up at six in the morning anymore, and I have no obligations to attend to (except for my chores and instrumental practicing every day). I am free to be as lazy as I want. YES! And to kick it all off, I get to go to the cabin tomorrow for the fourth of July reunion. Life is good.
