Today was my 209th day of high school. Well, the driving thing I did was terrible. I tried to drive Dad's automatic manuel. I did that thing that all teenagers do. I jerked the car back and forth, and I got angry. Ever since I was 7, I promised myself that I would never do that, but $Hx*. But once I get my permit, I'll be able to practice legally! (Not that I'm excited)

I went on the internet today to look up a research website on scholarships I'm eligible for. There's a scholarship that if you were a class officer, you can get a free trip to Washington and attend a seminar with a senator. That's one more reason I'm going to run!

Lindsey Stewart was mad at me (even though I haven't seen her yet) because I don't ride the bus. But what I think is ironic is that last year SHE said she was going to get a ride to school. Look who got lucky! So now I think I might ride the bus more. (???) Lindsey and I have such good conversations and I can talk politics and current events with her. I have to ride the bus home tommorow.
