busy... :)

Yeah, I haven't written in a while... I've just been really busy! I've had play practice, yearbook deadlines, SAT class, dates... Between my last post and now, my boyfriend and I had our six month anniversary :) Unfortunately, we didn't get to SEE each other that day, cuz I had yearbook and he had a dress rehearsal... But we made up for it over break with a couple of dates. On Sunday we even went to Disneyland together (with my family). That was fun. :) It's really nice to have something so stable in my life. For a lot of people, a relationship is something that is forced, that is stressful, that requires constant work and dedication. But it's not like that for us, and it never has been, nor ever will be. Michael is the one constant in my life that I can count on when nothing else seems to make sense. We're just awesome together. As we're always saying, "I love us." <3

Also I can drive now! w00t w00t. :D I had my first behind the wheel today--it was kinda nerve wracking, but my instructor was really calm and he definitely helped me a lot. I still was clutching the steering wheel a little tighter than necessary, but today was definitely better than last week, when I went driving with my mom in a deserted parking lot and we ended up doing nothing but yell at each other because she lacks the patience to deal with someone who has NEVER BEEN BEHIND THE WHEEL OF A CAR BEFORE. Seriously. I wasn't trying to learn the rules of the road, I was trying to learn how to operate a car! It's kinda hard to drive when you don't have any idea of how fast you'll go when you tap on the gas... or how jerkily you'll stop when you slam on the breaks...

I bought this whiteboard to write notes to myself, and right now it is filled up with appointments and assignments that I have to remember--tests, shows, meetings with my college planner and for a Miss Teen San Diego Pagaent (not sure how it's gonna work exactly, but I'd love to participate in a show like that!). I'll write again when some of that gets done, to tell about how it's going! :D
