yup today was the first day. it was pretty fun but it was long though. 1 day down 4 more to go then i can go get my permit. hopefully i pass the permit test on my first try.
oh yeah and i saw this horrible movie in "school" today. it was so scary and sad. they showed this movies which i have forgotten the name of, but it was so horrid and gory. they were actually videos from car crashes. they showed people with their brains laying on the floor, people whose arms were detached, and people whose faces were smashed to the point of nonrecognition.
The way i look at things is if you are mentally and emotionally strong you don't need anyone to show you how to live. When i hear the phrase "cultivate your own garden," that's what i think of. I don't like people to tell me how i should think. The only person who i will allow me to help form my own opinions is Jesus.
I hate it when people say that people around you influence who you are. I think that only occurs if u let it. Basicly, what i'm saying is that you can be whoever you want to be not who other people think you should be.
It pretty much sucks so far. Today was pretty much horrible.
I took my little rebel sisters who don't like to listen to me to the pool. Like always they would not listen to me. When i was ready to leave the pool, i told them: okay it's time to go. as defiant as they are, they told me straight out "NO!" we went back and forth like this for like 1o minutes.
after just asking, i started trying to drag them out. there is three of these "precious" little girls; so, i had my hands full. i tried to do it for the first 20 minutes without getting in the pool. i tried to drag one out and lock them out of the pool area but that didn't work because there were other people there who kept letting them back in. eventually, i had to get in the pool with all my clothes on to retrieve them.
it was hell. i was getting soooo frustrated. i seriously wanted to cry.
i never got them out. finally, my stepmom came and watched them while they swam. she came right on time to because i didn't know what i was going to do. i was going to have like a mental break down.
not only was it tiring, it was also embarrassing. while i was having this battle with my sisters, a bunch of my stepmom's neighbors were at the pool. i got to look like a jackass in front of a lot of people. I'm sure they probably enjoyed the whole strenuous episode.
