this is a goal i'll be working toward all month. it's always been a pet peeve of mine how those of use going back to school write august off before it's even begun. yes there are back to school commercials on tv already, but that doesn't mean summer's over. my sister is the prime example of this, some days she's actually mopey at the prospect of going to school. and it's still nearly 30 days away! i'm going to use august to cram in as much hanging as i can and to work on my driving. i haven't driven much since my little accident, but i'm determined to get back into the saddle - err...driver's seat. there are tons of things to look forward to this month: another friend's wedding, a birthday party, the possibility of last minute vacations and summer camp. and who knows what else might turn up? what are you doing this august?
I'm usually the same way about August. When August approaches normally I think, "Ugh, school starts soon." However, I'm not dreading it this semester. Surprisingly. I'm just enjoying my summer and what free time I have left until my life is full of papers and exams.
I know what you mean about car accidents. They can be quite scary. I had a bad accident a year ago. I totaled my car and went to the hospital with minor injuries. Fortunately I was fine, however, it really freaked me out. I was so uncomfortable with driving. My step-dad tried to get me to drive his car, but I just couldn't. I think it was about a month before I got my own car and was back on the road again.
