| | Summer is dragging on. Some good things have happened. Some okay things have happened. I can't think of too many bad things that have happened. I guess that is a good thing.
I'm almost done with driver's ed. I'm done this Tuesday. For good. Even the 5-hour course. But I have to double up on driving hours this week to finish driving time early (Friday) So after Tuesday, It's just babysitting and then I am free for two more hours each day.  Which makes me rather happy. Because then whatever work I do I am getting paid for. Then I can pay for car insurance and car repairs and other necessities. I'm so bad with handling money though. Seriously, once I have it I just wanna spend it. So I'll probably open a savings account soon.
School is coming. I can't believe I'm a senior! It's weird and scary and exciting. Weird because I've always looked up at 12th graders like they were giants and I'd be huge by then. Scary because I haven't made up my mind about what I'm doing once I graduate. Exciting because I'm almost done with school!
I'm becoming an adult. And it's a weird feeling. But a good one, too. Now that I am making my own money and buying my own things by myself I understand why my parents didn't buy me those hundreds of toys that I begged for and even cried for in the WalMart aisle. It also makes me appreciate them a lot more. Because money seems to disappear SOO quickly that I can't even remember where $20 went sometimes. I'm hesitating to do my own school shopping this year even though my mom has done it for me ever since I was in kindergarten. I feel selfish, but now I know how my parents feel when I ask for things, and that makes me want to pay them back in a way by taking over things like school shopping and covering lunch when we go out to eat.
It's a nice stage of my life that I'm enjoying. I'm glad I'm in it. I'd say it's a learning and growing stage definitely. I hope every kid comes to the same realizations someday.
That's all I have to say.
Have a nice rest of the summer.
Katie
