yeah, I'm happy, I'm really glad, I've got sunshine in a bag.

My skip-proof CD player broke, and the Best Mix CD Ever got scratched today in gym. I think I may cry or scream. Maybe both. The CD can be easily copied... but the CD player? I have no money for a new skip-proof one. My brother sold that to me for $5. And even though it had playing issues, it worked. It never skipped on me. And now I will have to dole out upwards of $60 for a good skip-proof CD player.

Yep, I'm leaning towards crying.

Also: I need to get over my highway driving phobia, as I've been waiting for the madre to pick me up since 2:30, and with her meetings and whatnot, I've had to wait. And I need to go home and take a nice hot bath like, RIGHT NOW.

Let me say once again that I absolutely hate gym. And running. There is no possible way I am going to be able to do the 1.5 mile in under seventeen minutes. Maybe in a year, maybe, and that's only if I keep up the running. And I am not a runner, so that ain't happening.

And Professor Bass Lookalike might give us a take-home test over spring break, only it will be "harder" than an in class version. I am so screwed. So extremely screwed.

Aw, poor CD player.
Hopefully you'll be able to get a new one, for a good price.

Highway driving is intimidating at first but once you're used to it, it's really nothing. I actually prefer it, because there's less to worry about. No random road signs, stop signs, traffic signals, speed limit changes, worrying about people pulling out. The odds of a really erratic driver are low, and most likely your biggest headache would be rush hour.

But the only way to get used to it is to do it, so I would suggest some baby steps. Bring someone with you. Just do the distance from one exit to another and slowly increase. Once you get the hang of it, it's worth it. And it's pretty hard to avoid highways your whole life. Sooner or later people will lose tolerance for driving you everywhere because you don't like the highway.
