After talking about Brendan with a couple of friends, who was studying madly for his driving test, this conversation came up...

Me: Where is he? He's like died or something!
A: He's studying madly for his driving test.
Me: Should we tell him that it's REALLY easy?
A: Nah, I'd like to see his reaction.

Naturally... I figured I ought to learn how to parallel park. You see, it will never be necessary to parallel park in Texas, but it will come in handy in Boston and other cities that are too cheap to make large parking lots for cars :0).

After my wild attempt to try something new a.k.a. parallel parking in the pouring rain (my car ended up unhurt and all), I decided to meet up with Karen and Michelle to go shopping at the mall. I'm not a leisurely shopper... I usually enter a store and come out with what I want in like 5 minutes, but then again, that is why I'm so talented.

After getting earrings (I must take the time out to desrcibe my fascination with the number two... I am in love with anything that comes in a pair... shoes, mittens, gloves, socks and yes, earrings), off we went to the Harry Potter book release party.

Going there, I knew that I would be a huge nerd... after all, who hangs out at a book store until 12:00 just to get a copy of a children's book... Anyway, I finally get there, and realize that half of my ex-high school was there dressed up as various different characters... (even saw my physics teacher there) and I felt like less of a nerd.

Later, I went home and went straight to bed.

Saturday morning rolls around and I finally get up at around 8-ish. I go to the clinic and get the second part of my Hepatitis B shot that somehow I made through high school without ANYONE noticing I didn't have... I don't know, maybe I'm just strong and have lots of antibodies and that can kick some Hepatitis B ass or something. Anyway, I went to go and take care of some of my banking issues so I can actually have access to a bank account when I head off to college. It doesn't mean that the numbers in the bank account will be positive, but we'll worry about that when we get there.

Then I headed off to guitar lessons... surprise surprise... I learned my first REAL song... it's actually "Imagine" and it sounds half-way decent!

Later that day, I went rummaging through old stuff and found *sigh* a couple of really nice blazers that can be readapted and worn as jackets in the nice and chilly Boston weather...

Then I went to the optometrist just to make sure that I am stil able to see. Supposedly my vision has gotten about 100 degrees worse or something like that in the past 3 years, which I guess isn't all that bad.

Then I went grocery shopping, bought some food, ate some dinner and just plain passed out.

Sunday started at around 7-ish, when I got up to prepare for my Chinese class because I got this ominous feeling that there would be a quiz. After going to the class and realizing that it was a false alarm... I went and got one of those massive Halliday and Resnick physics books that are on steroids and skimmed through it. I also got some pretty posterboard and super glue to decorate for a goals presentation.

Then, I took one of those ridiculously nice Sunday naps and woke up only to plan out some classes for next year's schedule... talked to a couple of friends and looked over the physics problems again. I continued to write a really cheesy thank you letter and did some more IM-ing and facebook stalking.

Finally, I decided to go for a run and then shower and sleep. Ah, the wonderful weekend is... well, GONE!
