Wow, I can officially drive by myself now… scary, isn’t it? When I first started this blog over two years ago, I think I mentioned something about how my cousin had just gotten his license at the age of 15. After seeing how many of the people in high school drive, I must again press this upon you - IT IS A MINDBLOWINGLY STUPID IDEA TO LET MIDDLE SCHOOLERS DRIVE! Just my opinion…

Little did I know that when I signed the papers for my 90-day Provisional Drivers License that I would have to initial a few things. This may seem like a very simple action, but as a 16-year-old, I rarely have to initial papers - sign them, yes, but not initial them. So I start to sign, and out come… my mom’s initials. For some reason, instead of writing MCS, I started to write CAS. This reason, upon closer examination, ends up being the amount of times I’ve forged my mom’s initials. She knew I did this - it wasn’t for anything serious, just the occasional permission slip or two I’d forget at home. I’m just picturing myself signing a marriage certificate, and accidentally signing my mom’s initials… Embarrassing.

So I’ll be driving myself to school tomorrow.

Man, I need to stop doing things. I’ve kind of completely overloaded myself over the past few months. I don’t think I’ve posted since the spring play has started, actually, so…

I got into The Martian Chronicles which we’ll be performing at CHS in March. And in a random surprise twist that would leave me even more swamped than I ever thought I could be, Mr. Small asked me to be the sound designer for the show as well. Don’t get me wrong here, that’s like a dream job of mine - the play has so many great sound effects to create. But how will I find the time now that I’m in the Testostetones, Producing the Wake-Up Call almost full-time, helping podcast Charlottesville-Right Now, studying for exams next week, acting in the play, producing music videos, participating in the ACE Student Editing Competition, and voicing a character for a radioplay?!?! I’ll manage… Somehow…

I’ve realized posts don’t have to be 500 words long.
