History Book Club
Today was one of the best days ever! I got all my driving hours corrected and figured out and I got 100% when I retook my test. I have to retake a few more but I am more optimistic because I usually get it all the second time around. This driving school is so hard! You constantly have to be doing pages of homework, making driving appointments almost every week and pretty much going to two hour classes every other day! I am pretty sure I will be pro when I finish this class.
I also got my books from the History Book Club in the mail today. So I got The Library of Congress World War II Companion edited by David M. Kennedy, Freedom for the Thought We Hate by Anthony Lewis, How the States Got Their Shapes by Mark Stein and The Candy Bombers by Andrei Cherny. I am pretty excited to eat these books up when I have the time.
My tutor also called saying she had a job for me which I am really excited for! She said one of her friends needs a baby sitter and it happens to be that they are only a fifteen minute walk away! She said her friend needs someone to watch her three girls while she is going to school and she will pay me about eight bucks an hour and sometime one weekend my tutor Stephanie wants me to watch her new cat while she is gone for three days. The majority of the money is going to my memory classes that I really want to take. Hooray, I have a summer job!
In Japanese I got to see Fujimara sensei and she really helped me out of a pickle, which was currently my Japanese workbook assignment. She is so amazing and helped me fully understand what we were doing.
Last night I talked to Jake for three or so hours. I love talking to him because he is such a fun guy to talk to; he is one of my best guy buddies. We can talk about whatever and I love how we come from similar situations, like we were both pulled out in fourth grade and did home school. Hated it after a while but he actually left his home to pursue all of his dreams and so far everything is falling into place. Sometime soon it will be mine turn, I can’t wait.
