Driver's Education

Best quote of the day?

"Square dancing is just friendship put to music"

Today was a really good day. Today, I wrote your name in the dust at the barn. Today I understood Monopoly. Today I won Monopoly. Today, I became better friends with people. And, today I had fun in drawing.

I loved today.

The song "Love Today" by Mika was on the radio this morning on the way to school, which made it a supra good day! I had never heard Mika on the radio before that.

Now for the ball of hate, because there is a major ball this week. Driver's ed.

I am taking driver's ed right now. I hate it.

There is so much homework for that class, which is ridiculous (but it's very good, because we need responsible drivers on the road). Every week we have an 8+ page packet to complete and this week we have a test to write and a whole driver's handbook to read... Yay.

Yesterday we watched a horrible video in that class. I hated it more than I though that I could ever hate a video. I am scarred for life, and I hate that. It was called "Red Asphalt". The name basically describes itself. The bodies in the film were not dummies. They were not reenactments or animation. It showed actual footage of car crashes; brains and all. All of the crashes were fatal, and it showed everything. I cannot even describe the horror. I will not go into detail here, because I don't like things that are gory. I just keep seeing the same picture of a little boy that was killed in a collision over and over. I don't think that the image of that little boy who must have been about seven will ever leave me. I would really like it to leave.

Driving is serious, people.
Don't goof around.
Be responsible.

I love you and want you to be safe when you drive.
