Back to School and Other Things

So as I'm sure most of the rest of you are, I'm going back to school in 2 days and all I can think of is how much I don't want to go back. But at the same time I'm a little ready for the summer to be over. Even though I'm not looking forward to having to study again, not be able to watch Netflix ever, and miss out on all the fun days at the cabin; I'm ready for shaving and bathing suit season to be over! You feel me?
This summer has been filled with more friends then most other summers combined for me, and while that's great I'm ready to have some of the drama be over. However even before school starts the school drama is catching up to me. Ah the life of a high school student...
Anyways, I can't help but start to worry about stuff. Between social aspects and the actual learning aspect of school, I'm not sure if I can handle both this year. I'm worried about losing people dear to me, as I almost let happen last year, but at the same time there are some people I'm not so sure I'm sad are leaving if all they're causing me is drama. For example, someone who says we'll go to a movie and then stops responding to my texts the rest of the summer...
However, I am looking forward to taking a drama class this year, not my first and hopefully not my last. As shy as I am I love acting. In acting I don't have to be some shy nobody, I can be whoever I want, even if who I want to be is some popular pretty princess!
I'm afraid I haven't written as much as I would've liked this summer, but I did write a little so at least I did some. I also got addicted to the book series The Mortal Instruments. Once I finish I hope to put up a review of the series. Currently I'm on the 3rd one but my hold expires in a day and I still have about 7 hours left in the audiobook...
I think the only reason I'm allowing the days to pass is that my two favorite TV shows are starting up again this month, Once Upon a Time and Big Bang Theory. Anyone else going to be watching them with me?
I hope the rest of you had a wonderful summer and have a wonderful school year!

Also, did I tell you I'm leading a group of middle school girls at church with another girl this year? I'm so excited!

Learning to Drive

So this summer I was forced to do what almost all teenagers in the United States do at 15, I was forced to learn how to drive. And as I sat in the middle row of the classroom for 2 hours 3 days a week for 5 weeks this summer I couldn't stop thinking about that Big Bang Theory episode in which they force Sheldon to learn how to drive (click on the link to see the clip).
However my personal opinion, unlike most of the rest of my peers, is that driving sucks. I hate it, I really do. Not sure if my parents are happy about this or not...
Anyways, that's been the main part of my summer so far, driving and more driving. Can't get my license on my birthday as you have to have your permit for 6 months (would have been nice to know) so I can get it a few days after Christmas. Do you know how much you have to pay for a license these days?! Neither do I, but I know it's a lot. My teacher told us, but now I can't remember... I just know it was quite a bit.
Hope the rest of you are having a wonderful summer. One month left already! I don't want to go back to school, but I guess if I have to. Schedules come out the 18th so at least I know my classes ahead of time, unlike middle school.
