Man, these few months have been very boring, nothing really interesting for me has happened. I'll just go over the days that things actually happened

Last Thursday we had thanksgiving at my uncles house. We had the usual food: Turkey, Stuffing, Yams and the like. That's all we did, talk and ate food

Last friday I saw The Incredibles with Jenifer, it was a cool movie considering it was a family movie, but still it was funny. Then when I got home, Chris was like "Lets have a LAN!", so I went to his house and him, me, Pat and Evan came and LAN'ed till like 6am then we went to bed and I came back home. I got to borrow his copy of Half-Life 2 so that was bad ass. Fun game, great physics.

Last saturday Mark and Sean came over and we watched some movies on my computer upstars and ate some food Mark brought from College.

Yep, that's all thats happened last week, now this week, which is a little more interesting.

Monday - The first day of Behind the wheel!!! The second portion of our drivers-ed program. It was at Grant, which is like 30 minutes away from Benson if you take the MAX. The first day we just got to drive around in the simulator so that was boring. When we did the first simulator run, in the end, I had the highest score which I thought was amusing considering i've only driven about a total of 2 hours over the past 2 years hehe. Getting home from Grant was confusing. I didn't print out a map of how to get home so I walked from Grant to the MAX, then took my usual Buses back home which took me about an hour but it wasnt that bad.

Tuesday - Second day of Behind the Wheel, but this time we got to drive! Yay! We get to drive the ford model that the police use for their cruisers. Wide as hell but it's good to drive something like that cause in the end, you can drive anything. We just drove around the parking lot practicing parking on the curb, and backing up. Well, thats all that my partner got to do, "We have 2 students in the car, we switch of after a half an hour". But as for me, i got to do the same thing AND go around the neighborhood. I was a little scared considering my run-in in december with a parked car :P. But I made it alright.

After that my dad came and picked me up and we went to The Singing Christmas Tree, one of Portlands anual events that occurs in the winter. He performs in it with his flute so I got a free ticket. He gave me some money for Quiznos if I wanted to eat something before the show began so that was nice. In the end the perfomance was great, a family sitting next to me were very kind to me considering I was surrounded by them, so that was neat.

Wednesday - Behind the Wheel again! Except only the simulator :(. I passed both of the simulator runs so that's good. After that was Financial Aid night at Benson so I went to learn all about financial aid and how it works. Took some notes, got handouts and went home!

Thursday - Behind the wheel! This time I drove again!. We BOTH went driving around the Neighborhood this time, going through uncontrolled intersections. This was kind of hard cause of cars approaching from the left side. All the parked cars blocking my view was a little annoying, but not as annoying as this one parked car on my right side as I made this one right turn. I always thought I was like two inches away from hitting it but in reality, I was like 5 feet away from hitting it. But it was ok, I did fine in the end.

Oh yeah, I beat Half life 2, most horrible ending ever.

Friday - Just the simulator in Drivers ed, nothing new. Except my aunt Mickey came down from Florence to visit my Mom. She's just visiting her for the weekend.

And today - Saturday - Didn't really do anything. Just hung around the house the whole day, played some Need for Speed Underground 2, some CS:Source and step mania. Ryder came over for a little bit and played some Hl2. And that's it.

I wish this damn year would liven up a little.
