Driving and a Little Banjo Music

Hi! Today is going to be a day of relaxation. (Finally!)

This weekend has been quite busy, from stupid Solo&Ensemble to AMAZING orchestra benefit concerts, and I've had little downtime. But now! Here it comes.

I've been trying to get my license for a while now. And it's more difficult than you might think. First, you have to be 16. Which I am. But my birthday is in July which means I'm a youngin'! Second, you have to be willing to drive. Which was not me for the first 15 months that I had my permit. But now, I'm ready to go! Third, you have to be able to park. AHHH! This is where I begin to have troubles. Parking? Okay, parallel parking I can see that you might use at some point in your life. But having to back into a parking spot from 90 degrees? I'm failing to see the point of it. But I have to go practice it so I can become a legal driver. Which is exciting.

After that, I guess I'm going shopping with my mother. Which I requested to do. I need a dress for band, for a concert that we do in May. But I really don't like shopping for clothes. It always makes me feel so terrible about myself. You can't fit into a size negative 4? We have no clothes for you! It's quite unfair to people who are normal sized. But who knows. Maybe Mom will buy me ice cream!

Finally, I'd just like to mention something weird. At lunch this past week, my friends and I were talking about weird banjo music, like Mumford and Sons. I said that I couldn't stand their music, which I can't. So my friend R sent me a bunch banjo-ish music. And I decided I like it. That can only mean one thing: Mumford and Sons is ridiculous. But the music she sent me is by Crooked Still. You should look them up. It's a nice change from rap. Or Bruno Mars. Whatever.

Alright! I hope you have a mostly wonderful day. Not too wonderful, because then it would surpass mine and I am quite selfish. Maybe.
