An Update on My Life!

Hey all! Sorry to all of you who faithfully check my blog and have continually found no updates! So here I go and hopefully fill you on some of the things that have been going on in the past months or so.
We started February off with a bang when we went up to Blue Mountain on the 5th! It was bitterly cold but awesomely fun!! Most of you however either were there or heard all about it, so I won’t give you all the details. I did have some pictures from that day however for the longest time my camera wouldn’t let me upload my pictures onto my computer so unfortunately I couldn’t get them on here. Then right after I developed them and deleted them off my camera, I learned how to put the pics on my computer, a little too late for all my Snow Valley and Blue Mountain pictures though. Oh, well.
Then next came the thrilling yet horrific story of my attempts to get my license! I flew through my driving instruction with Driver’s Ed, passed my test and got a G2 test booked for the day after. I do the hour practice before hand with my instructor sit in the parking lot for like 20 minutes say hi to my not so nice looking examiner and off we go. I back out of my parking space, drive ahead to the left, stop look ahead, look right, look left, wait, wait, this is a really busy parking lot so I wait some more…now it looks clear ….so I ease off the brake start rolling ahead, turn to look back to the left, and BANG my examiner slams on her brake. Now I’m scared out of my wits, because my instructor never had to use her brake in all my lessons so by this time I have no idea what has happened to the car. Then the instructor says there was a truck coming from the left, he had the right of way. Recall, that I said I was looking back to the left as she slammed on her brake, I’m sure that I would have seen the truck and stopped but hey she’s the boss. So automatic FAIL! Except I still had to do the whole test, and I’m driving my whole test knowing I failed. It really stank, especially because I got everything else perfect. L
Now account #2: I have my test booked for Feb. 14 – Valentines Day! It’s snowing really heavy all morning, and the roads are completely covered. My instructor phones to say she’ll be somewhat late because of the road conditions. I ask her to say if I should call the Testing Area people and see if they’re running, she assures me it’s ok because if they cancel they always phone you. Can you tell what’s going to happen yet? You bet, after another practice hour of driving around Oshawa on absolutely covered, totally unplowed and unsalted roads, we get to the Ministry of Transportation and: ‘Sorry we’re cancelled today! No we can’t call everyone because there are way too many people to call in one day So please excuse me because I have to sit here on my butt all day and tell everyone who comes in that we can’t do their test. Did I mention that I’m getting paid who knows how much for this?? (I added that last little bit in). Needless to say I was getting a little frustrated by now. So now I have another test booked for another day (I’m not supposed to tell anybody, because it causes me more stress and pressure!).
Besides attempting to get my license, I’m keeping buys with wrapping up my school for the year, toastmasters (a public-speaking course), catechism and Yp, and whatever else comes along. And now I’m looking for a job. If you know anybody that’s hiring….
Well I hope that you’re all enjoying winter and not hoping for spring too much. I’d love to hear from you all, either through comments or via email. (or in person would be even better!!)
