what would you do without spatulas

I know it sounds cliche but don't take the little things for granted!

License II

I passed guys! Oh my god, being behind the wheel (alone) feels so liberating and I feel like it's a big step in maturity and responsibility. Considering I have to make the decision to run over the pedestrian or yield their right of way driving is like a burden... a really awesome burden! Now there's a paradox for you.

Ok so guys I had the coolest driving instructor in the world. His name was Steve, about 5'10 190lbs and around 70. Through the 20 mins that I was in the car with him during my test I'm guessing he was a major political/social activist in the 60's. In other words, he was a tree-huggin hippy back in the day. So now that gave me an epiphany. First impressions are important! I know it sounds cliche, but honestly, the first impression always sticks with someone. Even if it's just a mild reminder of the memory of your first encounter.

I've realized that I have the widest range of varying first impressions. I've been talking to a lot of my friends and for some reason they all think of me as a different type of person even though we hang out in the same group. It's all mostly about my expressions and the first words of conversation that were exchanged between me and "X" Friend that impacted the relationship that had barely begun.

So here are some replies to my question, "What kind of person do you think I am?"
1. "Dude, Esther, you're a F--kin G. Can you say gangsta gangstaaaa?!"

           Honestly, what made me come off as gangster? Is it the "yo" when I answer phone calls? Because... something can be arranged....

2. "You're wild and crazy. And not the bland kind of wild and crazy, it's the run-around-a-crowded-shopping-mall-with-no-pants type of crazy."

       What made me not have pants? How come I'm running? And WHY IS THAT SO CRAZY HUH?!

3. "You're such a hippie Esther. You're always so happy and so bubbly and so lovey."

    I guess I do have some hippie moments... whatever the hell that means, but what made it seem like I was on drugs 24/7? Honestly, who REALLY is that happy all the time...?

4. "You attract weird types of people Esther. Seriously, you're personality is like a chameleon except not in a sense that you change yourself to fit in with others, but your personality is neutral as it's not directed at any one group."

       I kind of like this one. I just got this a couple days ago. It's cool knowing that I attract weird friends, at least that explains a whole lot of shiz.

5. "You're a dumb banana Asian."

          Why I'm so flattered. Banana meaning Yellow(Asian) on the outside, white (white) on the inside. Haaaaaaaaa.

So yeah... I forgot what point I was trying to show so I'll just end it here. I'm too lazy to scroll up and check. So I guess to first time readers of my xanga entry, I'd come off as a lazy freak.

Once again, forgotten point proven.

license

license test this thursday-- this can change my life. wish me luck!

Plus finals 1/30-1/31
Tips for you over-stressed peepzzz
1. Stop studying so hard
2. Get some sleep
3. Eat better
4. Watch some telly and relax
5. Ride a bike
6. Exercise (it helps you knock out)

Honestly, it works. I rarely do homework and at school I put little time into anything involving in school/work. Andddd I'm pulling a 3.8. It's not surprising though considering I probably get 3xs as much sleep as the average Troy student and I eat healthy and I have a social life throughout high school. It works guys, seriously. Just have a little faith and you'll be fine.

An unmelodic, un poetic Ode to things irrelevant

This Christmas was by far the weirdest Christmas ever considering I spent it watching back to back showings of Elf on Channel 67. Also, my parents went out to watch National Treasure with my little brother and my cousin and left me with an open pad and instant noodles. On Christmas Eve our family enjoyed christmas festivities by exchanging Tempo Car Visor Tissue Paper.
For some reason my aunt bought them in bulk--bulk meaning 100. So yeah, we had a bonfire at the community pits and ate smores, got fat, said goodbye and that was the end of Christmas.

I never knew how handy candles could come in, they save electricity and make my room smell like Asian Pear.

& Kudos to Jack in the Box for being open on christmas
