Oh L-rd

I have gotten something--a LISENCE! however u spell it.
i dont like the picture but everyone says that. although mine really isnt good. anyways i really like being able, legally, to drive by myself. but i'm kinda scared of having to be responsible for my own actions. at least when i had someone else in the car, i could blame them, or say that i just was not experienced. which is still true, but now i have documental proof that i am a capable driver. and so the test was really good! and the guy was nice! and i got only 6 points off--just cuz i got like 5 off for not looking in my blind spot or something but i think i did and he just didnt see. anyways, yea, i'm so excited!
*note to you all-- stay off the roads!*

WeeMee!

PSAT Stress

So we have the PSAT/NMS... ,it goes on forever, next week. The administration handed out these booklets that tell us about the scholarships involved with the test, how to answer the questions, what will be on it, and then a practice test. I read the booklet and now am in the process of doing the practice test. These tests are supposed to help, right? But they just discourage. I did not need a reminder before I take a big, stupid test that I am bad at these standardized Math questions. I am good at math, I am ahead in math, i get good grades in math. These tests show that i can't do math well. I do some math well...most math well. But everyone at those stupid PSAT and scholarship places will think that I'm bad at it. It's very frustrating. I don't understand why I can't do these kind of math tests, I do fine on the English sections. I am better at English than i am at Math anyways---but I'm certainly not as bad at math as those tests make me seem like i am! And the really dumb part of it is that there's only math and english sections. So these tests don't really care about the important things that make a major difference in college--they just want to see if you can understand passages and if you know how to get the average of a set of numbers.
Well, i really shouldn't complain because there are people who can't do any of the test well. I feel really bad for them.

chello!

Hey!
So, it's that time of year again. ya know, where we make a shed with wood and cover it up with trees, in our backyard, and then eat and sleep in it. Yea, SUKKOS! Now that seems really weird to people who have know idea what it's about--think how weird it is when people put the sukkah in the front yard! It looks completely crazy! at least when it's in the back, they don't really see it. Except for your backyard neighbors--but they already know how insane we are because when you are in your backyard you don't think people know what you're doing and therfore act freely/ crazily. Well, I kinda do anyways- chasing after the dog, jumping around.
Well, I think that some people are crazy no matter where they are. For example, my completely normal and sane neighbor across the street, just twirled in a circle in order to open a big paper bag. And me, i guess, could also be an example. I shovel apples from our apple tree into a bag that is being held open with one of those fertilizer/ ice-melting salt spreaders. And then there's my mother who instead of using the rake to gather the apples, uses the dog's pooper-scooper.
So yea, there are some people who are crazy no matter what.
But on the other hand, there's the opinion, rightly expressed by my friend (clearly half a world away both physically and mentally) that " I think people are normal wherever you go." I don't know what kind of people she knows, but whatever.
"To each his own" as the saying goes.

So it's pretty cool, that it's sukkos already. I remember last sukkos, and it's weird that it's been an entire year already! It's so weird, yet also cool, how much can happen, how much people can change in a whole year. And yet, there's always the stuff that stays the same. I think those are the things that keep it from seeming like a whole year has passed.

So that's it. Nothing truely profound.
