Things to do, places to go, people to meet...

I always think about cool things I could write about when I'm driving around in the car but when I finally sit down to write I can't ever remember them.
Now I will relate to you a weird and unusual experience.
Yesterday morning I dropped my little brother off at school but I had about 2 hours before I have to be at my class. So As I have done in the past I laid down in the back seat of my car and went to sleep. The next thing I know I hear the car door open and I jerk up to attention! The first thought to run through my mind was that it was my brother needing something, but when I looked up it is a middle-aged man! He then informed me that my lights were on and that he was sorry for disturbing me. I know I had a dazed and confused look on my face but I managed to get out a thank you. He then closed the door, got in his truck, and drove off. I was then barely past the just waking up stage. A thought came to me after a minute and I then considered what could have happened had I not woken up or if it had not been a man with honest intentions that had opened the door. I wondered then what might have happened. I swiftly locked the door and slept for a few more minutes.

School is going well. I have a science test tomorrow and I have a government take-home test to complete this week. This coming Tuesday I also have a math test. I am already more than half way through my first semester and I'm already looking forward to next summer.
Mock trial is going okay. I'm questioning whether I want to participate in the regional competition though. Mainly on the grounds of 1) I don't have the same desire for it, 2) I don't have the same amount of time to put into it, 3) I'd kind of rather be doing other things. What I wonder is if I get to the end of my high school education and look back wishing I had participated another year. I just don't know. On one hand I see how I might do that, but on the other I'm thinking the only reason I would be doing it was because I didn't have many other activities that needed my attention which is not the case. In fact I do have a lot of other things that require my attention. Well, I'll continue to think about it.

The weather is starting to get really cold now. The leaves are stunning! I was driving down the road the other day (if you haven't noticed I've been doing that a lot lately) and said why would anyone ever want to live anywhere else where they could not witness such brilliant and vibrant color.

I'm looking forward to a dance I am going to on Saturday. I think it will be a ton of fun. I really enjoy dancing, but I really miss riding horses too. I think about it every time I pass (which is pretty much every day) the barn where I worked over the summer. Even the stressful times there seemed tranquil.

My brother is now demanding that he has to use the computer now so I have to get off, so long for now.
