Sorry for basically falling off the face of Blogland last week! I don’t really have any excuses except it was the first week back at school and I picked other things over writing a post. I have just a few things from the weekend that I want to share!
On Friday it was the big rivalry game!
We won by 11 π
Saturday morning I headed out for a (cold) run and listened to Episode 3 of Serial. Addicted. I made a quick breakfast to take with me because…
I took my Driver’s Test!!
I can’t get my real license until the 18th (happy b-day to meee) so until then I still have to ride the bus to school. #sophomoreprobz
I have a few tips for those of you who haven’t taken your test yet! π
- They ask you questions. What would you do if a car is coming straight towards you in your lane? Hint: don’t swerve and hit a large, stationary tree.
- Be there early. I went early to practice but not early enough… I didn’t get to practice parallel parking! I still got zero wrong on the parking section of the test though so it’s all good.
- Don’t be afraid to ask questions! The roads were totally snow covered so I had to ask if it was a 4-lane, 2-lane, or if there was a turn lane. I also had to ask the speed limit a few times!
- RELAX. It’s really not that bad. Just drive like you normally do, follow the rules, and you’ll be fine!
After the test Mom and I were both super hungry so we went to a new restaurant I’ve been wanting to try, Cedar Street Cafe.
Veggies, apples, mayo, and cheese all on thick 9 grain bread, YUM. I’m not even a chip person but I couldn’t stop eating the kettle chips. Although it might have been the long run hunger kicking in!
Then I celebrated with a big fat warm cream cheese frosting cinnamon roll, because life is too short to not eat the cinnamon roll.
I have SO many posts planned but I need to take the time to write them and edit the photos! Hopefully I’ll be a little more present in these coming weeks, but lately I’m starting to appreciate that I don’t need to spend all of my free time on the computer or sacrifice precious sleep to finish a post.
Talk to you guys soon!
ps… I’m doing a research paper for biology on protein intake and I would appreciate it SO much if you took the time to answer a few short questions! Click here to take it!
Wow, you got a certificate!? I didn’t! Haha π Just my license π
I need to have the certificate until I can get the real license π I just added a survey to the bottom of the post and I would appreciate it SO much if you’d take it!!
Woo! Congrats on your test! I remember being SO nervous for both my written and driving test. They weren’t bad at all, though! And that celebratory cinnamon roll? YES PLEASE!
Thanks girly! Ohhh man, I had been craving a cinnamon roll and it TOTALLY hit the spot. Now I have an itch to make some homemade ones, haha!
well done on the driving test!! π im studying for my theory on driving at the minute in Ireland you do a written exam on driving before you can actually learn to drive and do the test to get your license π oh and I did your survey <3 xxx
Thanks Lucy! I took a written test when I got my permit, about 6 months ago π
Just took the survey! Congrats on your license, girl! A whole new world is about to open up π
Thanks, Liv! I KNOW! To actually be able to drive to go cross country skiing? Can’t wait.
Congrats on your drivers test, girl! Stupid PA doesn’t even let me get my permit until I turn 16 – only 98 days π
I’ve heard of Pennsylvania being like that! Crazy. You can live vicariously through me π
Yay congrats on the test! and happy early birthday!!
Thanks, beautiful!!
Okay, for some whack reason, my feedly has not been showing your blog posts, so I haven’t been seeing all your posts!! I’m so sorry, but HELLO.
Congrats on passing your drivers test! I was so nervous for mine since some of my friends had terrible experiences with their first drivers tests, but it wasn’t too bad. I guess I got lucky with my tester!
Happy birthday, girl!! You are killing it as always with your athletics and schoolwork. Have a great one!
Hate it when that happens! Well, at least it’s good now π thanks girly!! Hope you’re doing fabulous!
