Never buy Joe Boxer clothes. They suck so bad. I was wearing my pajamas for the second time and guess what? They have already ripped! I keep trying to tell my parents NOT to buy clothes in that brand because they don't last at all. So yeah, now I'm without them for the next few days until I get a replacement pair of pajamas that will last more than TWO times being worn before getting screwed up.

I am debating with myself if I should be more active on here or not.

I've been insanely busy for about three weeks now but I'm still going! I have been doing zero ZQuest though I've been thinking a lot about a game made outside it. I really think I want to make a 3D game someday. It also doesn't help I don't have a computer that runs ZQuest. :/

P.S: Les Miserables is going well!

So I guess I never mentioned this on here yet but from the last interview I went, I got a place offer almost immediately which I'm very happy about. I decided to accept the offer since I think this will be the best college for me since I noticed the staff are extremely kind and supportive. Furthermore, I found out that this college has a lot of autism support so this will be extremely beneficial for me.

 

The courses I applied for in this college are as follows:

- Maths

- Physics

- Chemistry

- Portuguese

As well as Religious Studies as a compulsory subject (I don't mind this since it isn't English or PE)

 

All I need now is at least 5 GCSE grades from A*-C (got 2 already from early entry exams last year) and on September 2015, I will officially begin college, making my next big step into becoming an astronomer (which is my current life goal and dream)

This weekend I'm visiting a friend who I haven't seen in about two years. I feel this experience is really transforming me in ways that is more positive than any recent event in a very long time.

Well school has been going great for me, I'm really loving it. There's not many people here, so I got to know and befriend everyone really quickly. Teachers are helpful and some encourage me to consult them with any kind of problem I may have both personal or educational. I've managed to get most of my Grade 11 assignments done already as I'm halfway in my English tasks and a quarter way with Maths. Once Grade 11 compulsory subjects are done, I'll focus on doing my Grade 12 projects. And with those done, I finish high school! I still have to attend, so I can do work experience and "TAFE" courses. Next year, I move a step up!

 

Classes are minimal. There's theory, which I can do either Grade 11 English or Maths or do my Grade 12 projects. Then there's PE and art. But I'm okay with this because now I can focus on all of my classes with no stress.

 

And the best part? I'm only two weeks in. I feel so far ahead, and so happy with my life! I never felt this satified with my personal life in years.

 

Edit: Also get my driver's license within a week's time!

I'm extremely happy to hear that It seems like things are going wonderfully for you! Also, damn, you get to drive at 17? Lucky

 

Either way, I got another set of practice exams tomorrow. English Literature will appear again and I think I might fail it again? I dunno. The topic is poetry this time, so maybe I could do better.

Actually I may have confused a lot of people. I don't drive by myself until I'm 18. I got to have an experienced driver in the passenger seat. It's not a bad thing, but I haven't got the freedom to drive by myself just yet.

What's really unfair for you, Eddy, is that I (and everyone in the U.S) can start driving at the age of 16 and 1/2.

Not sure about Indiana, but a few years back in Pennsylvania, they increased the min requirements. Now you have to do 65 hours under 18 with a mandatory 10 hours at night and 5 in bad weather. I personally held off until 18 myself, mostly because at 16, I was too scared to drive. I actually was able to get excused from Driver's Ed in 10th grade as well, where normally it's mandatory for all 10th graders to take it. I did go for it in 12th grade though, mostly because I wanted to finally drive. I never got how younger people were always so excited about driving myself. Even at 18, I had my doubts, especially when I first drove my father's truck. I went literally 50 feet in a church parking lot before we argued and I didn't want to continue.

 

I did luck out since I waited to 18 for mine. No mandatory 65 hours of documented driving with a parent or guardian, just go in and take it whenever I thought I could manage it. I did blow it the first time in the driving portion, though. Ran a stop sign because "I was afraid of getting rear-ended", then just because the front of the car was over the painted STOP sign a little bit, I was failed. The second time, I almost blew the parallel park, but the road test was easy. Maybe having my father take me in versus my older brother helped, or maybe I already knew what to expect. I did make one minor screw up though. I made a left onto a two-lane road, but I turned into the OUTERMOST lane immediately. You're supposed to go into the innermost lane first, then signal right and turn into it after checking the blind spots. Let me tell you, even at almost 19 at the time, I was scared my first time driving ALONE, and that fear hung with me for a few months.

[David]

Well yeah, here in Indiana you usually have to do Driver's Education and then be able to acquire your Permit at around 15 years of age. Then you have to do 60 hours of driving, with 50 during the day and 10 at night. After that you can get your driver's license at age 16 and 1/2 but you are in a probationary period for some time meaning that there are still some restrictions on your driving. After some time though, you can drive like anyone else who's had a license for anyone else.

Well, I've been trying to ignore it, but I'm feeling pretty bad again.

I just don't know. The world is such a place. I don't get what it means.

Found out my English teacher is a huge fan of Zelda and Final Fantasy. The class was practically empty so she and I spent half of the class period discussing the games.
