Day Two Of My New Life

I finished unpacking at 8.00 AM this morning. I have to say, unpacking is the most exhausting thing ever. I feel like I got run over by a fucking semi. But my room feels like it's mine now. I'm comfortable here now.

~~~~~

Before I discuss the next bit of news, I need to give a bit more back story of my Vancouver life.

~~~~~

My grandparents are extremely stingy. They used to have a lot of money, and they hated spending it on anyone but themselves. Thus, seventeen years and three months into my life, I do not have my driver's license or permit, and I've driven a grand total of maybe five times.

~~~~~

With that said, my stepdad is paying for me to get my permit on Saturday so I can drive his beautiful black 2007 Ford F150...and it's lifted :) And in February, I will get my license. Finally. This has filled me with overwhelming joy.

~~~~~

Basically, moving here, although not exactly my choice, has worked out very nicely for me, and over the next year, will continue to work out well for me. I'm happier than I have been in a long time.

~~~~~

So, on that note, I need to go shower and suchlike, so I guess this is ciao for now!

P.S.--I drove a stick shift for the first time in a high school parking lot last night. In a half hour, I only killed the car like, three times :)
