ah whatever and then driving school

I'm trying to force myself to care but I just can't. Nope. There are too many other great things happening for me to spend time on something like caring about that.

I get to see Eric tomorrow if all goes according to plan. Oh, let's start at the beginning. You know, I had driving school today (with a rambunctious group of 15- to 17-year-olds... go ahead and call me Granny) from 10:00 AM to 4:30 PM. ALL DAY. It was boooooring. And odd to sort of stick my almost-19-year-old-self in a group of younger kids and pretend to laugh at jokes that aren't really funny and protest loudly the fact that our teacher can't properly pronounce "minimum" (no joke here). I thought I'd go all day avoiding questions like "What high school do you go to?" and "What grade are you in?" ... and I did until about 4:23. The boy with Chris Delaney-esque hair beside me (who'd been there since 1 and whose name is either Brian or Ryan) decided finally to talk to me and his first question? You guessed it:

(B)Ryan: "So, what school do you go to?"

Emily (looking embarrassed): "Uhh... I graduated, actually. I go to college."

(B)Ryan (smiling and looking away): "Ahh... and you're just now getting your driver's license?"

Emily: "Yeah... oh well. How old are you?"

(B)Ryan: "I'll be a senior." (Which I take to mean that he's 17.)

Emily: "Well, that makes me feel a little better. I was feeling really silly when everyone was like 'I'm 15! I'm going into the 10th grade.'"

(B)Ryan: "Yeah, I guess we're the old ones."

So it really wasn't too bad. He turned out to be pretty nice. And the two girls in front of me reminded me for the world of me and Suzanne in 7th grade. They were funny but not in a funny way. I laughed anyway.

And ate a lonely, boring lunch. Eric's going to come tomorrow and sit with me so I won't be alone and so I'll be able to see him this week. It'll be nice. And my mom's actually bringing me a lunch so my food'll be warm. I guess no one can really do anything to fix the BORING subject matter.

And now Zane is breathing down my neck as it really is his turn to use to phone line. Later, guys. :)
