As you probably know I'm back in College Station, yay! (For the most part) You would think a week off wouldn't do that much harm to your sleep schedule and your motivation to do things...but it can really take a toll. I can not even relay to you how exhausted I am but its not because I did a lot over my break. Oh no its because I would stay up late and then consequently sleep in real late and then on top of that I literally did nothing but sit on the couch and catch up on my shows (College kid probs). So I basically been a lazy bum as well. That's what breaks do to me folks. On a completely random but exciting side note, my uncle has officially been cleared of cancer and no longer has to do chemo! God is good.
Memory #49
As of right now my brother Sambo is 16 but he has not acquired a driver's license. He's taken the classes already and he has his permit but he has yet to complete all of his drive times. In fact he has only done one so far and let me tell you scheduling drive times is the biggest pain in the arse ever. Its even more complicated for my brother and dad because its still tax season, which pretty much means my dad is swamped at work. Which is real unfortunate. It also reminds me of my driver's ed experience. I was in a similar boat to Sam at the time, I had already taken the class and acquired my permit but had absolutely no drive times and it was summer. Summer, in case you were wondering, was the most popular time to get your drive times done and the driver's ed people had the most terrible and unorganized system ever, so it was nearly impossible to get a single drive time per week. (I should also mention that when you signed up you were only allowed one slot)
Unless your name was Melinda Langford. When my mom got into a mindset of accomplishing something she went at it with her whole being (and she was real crafty). So one Wednesday, which is when you could sign up for the following week, my mom and I strolled up to the driver's ed where there was already a huge line forming; but that didn't sway my mom. She was bound and determined and she had a plan. My mom told me to get into line while she waited in the car with her phone. Once I got through the line and somehow managed to get a drive time and escape the mad house in one piece, I got into my mom's car confused as to why she hadn't gone in with me. My mom though had been fulfilling her master plan, we were told you could only get one drive time per week, but my mom figured that if we went in two separate ways they would have no idea that I got my name on their list twice. So my mom called and called until she finally got in and got me a slot. We did this every week for three weeks. And that is how my mom and I beat the driver's ed system.
Love Always,
Erin
