Wow first of all, I was happy in that picture.  LOL!  That was taken about a year ago or more.  In fact, I was riding in the car with some people that had evacuated from LA when Katrina tore up their homes.  They were a trip!  Anyway, enough of that.  I'm sitting at home and I'm bored and so I decided to write a little blog entry for everyone out there on the web.  I actually have six or more blogs, but some of them are secret.  Well, not really secret, but if you want to look around for long enough, maybe you'll discover all of them.  Maybe not.  I guess anything is possible. 
                     Today my grandma is getting off work at 3:00 PM and she is going to take me to Fort Walton where I will apply for my hardship license.  I've already been prewarned that I won't be getting my license right away because since this was my second offense, I have to attend some classes and in fact I'll have to be enrolled in these "special classes" for the entire time I have my hardship license.  I can't get my real license until 2010 so I'll be going to these classes for a while I guess.  This has been really hard for me to accept, and I'm still not ready to accept it, but I guess life doesn't care what I am ready for does it?  So I'll have to grit my teeth and plunge ahead because that's the only way I'm going to get to be able to drive for right now.
                    I've learned a lot by getting my driving priveleges taken away, mainly how hard it is to function without them.  I mean, I seem to have gone backwards in my journey through life by not having a legal opportunity to drive.  My self confidence has diminished.  My life has not been good without it.  I have to admit, I am extremely excited to even be applying for my hardship license though because that means I am one step closer to being able to drive.  I don't know where the wind will take me once I get my hardship license, but at this point, I'm ready for just about anything life has to offer.  I'm very anxious about the classes I have to take though.  I don't know what all I'm going to be required to do in them.  I'll keep you updated though.  Wish me luck!
