Our lives in these empty spaces aside

As you may notice I finally got around to changing my design. For the first time ever! I love it. I don't know if it will make me write here more, but we'll see. I made it myself, do you like it? I'm surprised at how quickly my older entries updated to the new design. That makes me very happy indeed. I worked forever on this thing. I also added a Bio page and I'm updating my links and rings soon.

So I took my road test on Tuesday and failed by 1 point, because the old man (he really was old) made me parallel park, on Main Street, in heavy traffic at the busiest hour. No one I know has had to parallel park on their road test in this town! And the thing is I can do it if I really need to, but I've only done it in the driveway so I wasn't anticipating the road sloping downward and having to use the brake. So I ended up on the curb. Then I retried it and did it fine. But of course that wasn't good enough for the old man.

Oh well. I'm slightly pissed because I did my best and I think I should have passed. He was a real hard ass. I don't think he passed anyone that day. Jerk. And I can't retake the test anywhere else because I have to wait 12 days afterwards and, of course, day twelve is when I'm leaving the country. So I have to do it in August in Penticton or see what I can get down south. I can live with that. Sigh. Everything happens for a reason, right?

What else...my eye was swollen for a few days. Am I the only one to whom this happens? I think makeup particles or something plug my eyelash follicles every once in a while and it makes my bottom lid hurt and get puffy for a day or two. Only this time it was really bad, it actually turned slightly purple and hurt to blink. Damn! Stupid thing...

So I'm leaving in a little more than a week. I'm excited but also nervous. I have a lot to do before I go, appointments here and there (ie. haircut today, dentist (ugh) in P.G. tomorrow, bank appt. next week), not to mention I've only packed up half my bedroom and won't be able to get more boxes till Tuesday. And I still have to study more for Math and English since I'm taking my placement tests in Moscow on May 3rd. I'm nervous, I haven't had Math forever and I'm praying I can study enough to remember most of the essential material and actually pass my test. Otherwise it could screw up my entire schedule and have me end up in no classes with Dan.

I'm listening to my Audio of Being. It's been a while, I like it. Does anyone ever come here anymore? No one ever signs my guestbook. Oh well...I just hope this isn't a waste.

I'm not looking forward to going to the dentist. I sincerely hope I don't need any work done, because I can't stand that. And if I do, I'll either have to make an appointment next week and go all the way back, if that's possible, or else I'll have to wait a long, long while to get my teeth fixed. I don't want either of those, really.

I'm really looking forward to seeing Dan. I can't believe the rest of my life is finally starting. I also can't believe I've had to live a life where I find it impossible to believe I can finally be with my boyfriend for longer than a few days every few months. I can't imagine not having to live with the fear of losing him again. I really don't know how I'm going to react when I get there. This is it.

Well, I have a lot to do. Wish me luck.
