she's lost in coma, where it's beautiful,
intoxicated from the deep sleep...
do you wonder what it's like,
living in a permanent imagination?
sleeping to escape reality...
but you like it like that

I GOT MY PERMIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes. I passed my permit test with flying colors. 91%, baybeeeeeee! My mom was expecting me to ace it, but blah. Screw her. =P I only missed two and I think that's VERY good. And I can drive now. HAHAHAHAHA. *diabolical cackle*

In other news... yesterday sucked almost as much as Thursday did. Main reason being, I was very, VERY sick. Not only did I not have much of a voice, but my nose, ears and sinuses were so congested and I just felt so... blah. The first four periods were hell (and the fact that we had Mrs. Toll as our Chemistry sub didn't make things much better); in English we had a quiz and then did this worksheet. I finished first so Mrs. Garner wanted me to read the answers. I cleared my throat three times to try to speak but my voice was so croaky that I had to ask Mrs. G to get someone else to read. >_< Thankfully she was very nice, and asked Andrea to read. So Mrs. G was actually on my good side yesterday.

At lunch, I didn't eat much, just had salad and fruit juice. I felt a little better after that. I can always really feel the positive effect of vitamins when I'm sick. It really does make a difference. So Physics was more bearable, which was good because we had a quiz. I think I did okay on everything except the circuit diagrams we had to draw. Not so sure I got the polarities right. Anyway, the period after, Pre-Cal, we had a quiz too. (Yeah, of course, the day I'm sick I have quizzes in half my classes. -.-) I started feeling worse again, so I went real slow and was just finishing up as the bell rang. So then I turned it in, went to the restroom to wash my hands/face, and went out.

Mom was waiting for me to pick me up and take me to the DPS for my permit test. I briefly considered telling her to just go back home because I felt too bad, but I had another can of fruit juice in my backpack and I figured, "I'm probably never going to be this ready again." So, we went to Conroe. Took about half an hour to get there. Then I had to fill out forms, stand in line a little while, and they gave me a number: 51. At that time they were only at 25, but it actually went pretty quickly. We waited about.. oh, an hour. Then they called my number and we got in the next line. We had to wait for another 15 minutes or so. Then we finally got to this desk, where the lady processed all the forms. Well, apparently all this shit was up with my social security number, so she had to white it out on my forms and I couldn't use it, and I had to sign an affidavit and whatever. But everything else was fine. Then mom and I had to both raise our right hand and "solemly swear that all content of these forms is the truth and we understand that if this is not so we are committing perjury against the state" and whatnot. Mom and I were trying very hard not to crack up laughing because we always make fun of that when we watch law shows on TV and stuff. ;| That was pretty funny.

So then mom got to sit back down, and I went over to another desk where she told me what computer to sit at for the test. So, I went. First they gave me a practice test to practice using the computer's interface. It was like "What is your date of birth?" and "What is your legal name?" I, however, did not realize this was a practice test until afterwards, so I got quite amused thinking these questions were part of my permit test. Well, that's a freebie right there!.. ;/ Unfortunately, they didn't count. The actual test was surprisingly easy, however. I'd taken practice tests in class and on the web, and was quite surprised to find that almost all the questions were ones I'd seen before. The two that I missed were the two that I hadn't. So it was very easy. And I passed. :]

So after some more administrative shit they gave me my permit and told me I can get my license on August 6th. Whoo!! *dance* So mom and I got back in the car and drove home, where I started to steadily feel worse. Once home I decided, I have done everything today. I went to school, took my quizzes like a good little schoolgirl. Took my permit test and fucking passed. NO ONE CAN ASK ANY MORE OF ME. So I took a shower, had dinner, took lots of Sudafed, and went to bed.


I'm still not feeling 100% today. My sickness is following the exact same pattern that it took for my sister last week, and she says that the next symptom is fever. -___- God, I hope not. We're supposed to go see the school musical tonight. Last time we went to our school play, I was sick too. What is it with me and being sick for the school plays?!

Anyhow, my temperature is raised right now. :[ I just hope it doesn't go any higher.

I'm surprised how surprisingly non-pessimistic I am managing to write all this. I guess it's the after-effect of going to yoga class today. It was a bit strenuous. The exercises that involved bending over weren't fun at all. But we learned meditation, and that was nice. I feel better.

Then I helped mom buy groceries, which, I know three people from my Physics class that all work at the same Kroger's. It's kinda weird. I saw two of them there today. The third is Ben/Nick. Mom remembers him from the boat project so she always goes in his line for check-out whenever she sees him there. XD Whenever she mentions it I'm like, "Mom, are you stalking him?!"

Anyway...

I was planning to set up my blog today, but as I don't feel like spending x hours on a layout today, maybe I'll wait a little bit longer.

I just hope I feel better. benvenuto has to come over tomorrow to work on a project.

Blahhhh.

Namaste!
