Mixed emotions

Hmm. Drivers ed starts tomorrow. I think I'm sort of excited. Well, apart from two hours in class at a time... I can just imagine.

"This is a STOP sign." Pause. "When you see this... STOP." Pause. "Are you getting this down?"

Exciting. But, there you go. I don't actually drive for class until Tuesday, but as soon as the first day of class, I'm allowed to use my learner's permit. So I can go driving around randomly and stuff, plus parent.

Rehearsals for Midsummer start next week. I am pretty much blanket excited about that. It's been a long time since I've been really, fully in drama world. Then on the 6th, I have the mother of schedule conflicts. Drivers ed, rehearsal, and choir concert. All most likely overlapping. We'll see, I guess. Should be interesting.

There is a rumor circulating about the household that we are going to see Just Like Heaven. Hmmmmmm.... I wonder. More mixed emotions. Looks like a good movie... but seeing it with my family. All three of them. Together. With me. Doesn't usually end well... either someone leaves in tears, I get yelled at, or once we get home I'm shaking with repressed frustration. Straight to my room with me. And to think that that used to be a punishment for people. Ha. Imagine.

This isn't anything against individual family members... just know that together, you have the power to drive Patrick completely and irreversably insane.

So yeah. Mixed emotions.

I'm writing a lot more now than I used to. Seems I'm submitting something new every week. Heh. Wonder how long that'll last.

Speaking of which, I feel another one coming on. Hmm.

I went on a bike ride today. Nothing remotely interesting... Just zigzagged through the neighborhood (got my dad completely lost while knowing exactly where I was the entire time, fun fun), finally escaped, and headed out rocky ford... went up 425 east, turned back west on 350 north, and went down talley road for half a mile... then right on 300 North, and back into town. Grand total of 10.06 miles. I was shamefully exhausted at the end. I am pathetic. I used to do 18 miles without blinking, much less nearly falling over in the shower. I need to hurry and get back in shape before winter sets in. That means I have about a month. Hooray.

But I can run a lot better now than I used to. >_> thank you, summer school.

I'm starting my training for Producer on the flame tomorrow. I forsee stress... I'm there for a day, then in ISTEP for 3, and back in the studio for a day, and then next week I have to produce. Two days of training for the hardest job on the crew.
Yaaaay.

Ever since homecoming, I am horrified to find myself having a newfound respect for rap music. Well, some rap music. Weird.

I guess I'll just veg out for a while. That and check and see what my hw is. Need to figure out the timing.
