What's New.

I haven't been able to write recently to fill you in on the boring details of my life. Or on how Christmas was, since I've been really sick. Anyway...

I'm really excited. I feel so, like, adult. (;

My dad took me to get my own bank account today. I'm starting an actual part time job in January so now I have an account to keep my money organized in. I'm so excited! I got my own little check book and debit card! Of course I can only use the money that's in my personal bank account, which isn't much, but still.

Tomorrow if I'm feeling any better I'm going shopping with my mom. I've collected quite a few gift cards with my birthday and Christmas, so I'm can't wait to hit the mall. The only downside to this week is I have to finish an English paper...

I'm the worst when it comes to procrastination. But truthfully, I've been planning on writing it this week. The last month of school was insane for me! Since English is my favorite subject, and I'd much rather write a 5 page paper than do a 2 page Chemistry assignment, (exaggeration, people), I choose to focus on my worst subjects. It was a good idea, because now I have an A in Chemistry. Thank you Jesus! (Beginning of the year I was seriously failing that class.) And assuming I did O. K. on my test, I should be able to keep a A or B average in Chemistry.

Lost my train of thought....

Oh yeah! I got a bunch of gift cards for Christmas, along with a new guitar case :D Yay!!!! I'm learning to play guitar, and I have a gorgeous guitar that I absolutely love, but I've been borrowing my mom's old case. The case is pathetic... Like seriously, I had to duct tape it to keep it shut. Yeah. But now I have a beautiful new one that has lots of fluffy padding inside to protect my guitar.

Also, over Christmas break I made the decision to start driving regularly.

Um, big deal? YES.


Because I've been slacking on the whole learning to drive thing. I'm wayyyy behind. I should have my license already, but I can barely make it around corners. I'm not a bad driver, it's just I haven't been out practicing like I should have been. I've been too scared. Now I've made the decision to start driving constantly. Maybe if I drive every time my family gets into the car, I can get my license by March? April? Eh. I don't know. Either way, I better have it before school lets out.

Hmmm, have I forgotten anything? This is already a long post. But hey, it's been a while.

Oh! Something cool! On Christmas, my family did something they haven't done in a while. I'm told it used to be a family tradition. This year, my parents bought a bunch of five dollar Starbucks cards, then on Christmas day, my immediate family (plus my aunt and my cousins) went out and drove around to different gas stations. We would all get out and give the people working there a Starbucks gift card. The purpose was to give them a gift since they were working on Christmas. It was so cool to see the smiles on they're faces. Some of them were too stunned to say anything.

And one last thing, if you read my blog but aren't a follower... uh, become a follower? haha Not sure why I really care or even why I just asked that, but it would be cool. Whatever.

Okay well, that's what's new with this teenager. Adios. (:
