Drivers Ed.I

Drivers Ed.

I start driver's ed tomorrow, and let me tell you, I am about to wet my pants. Mainly because I will have to take it with the private schoolers instead of the public schoolers. Another way to say it would be the mean people instead of the nice people. Every single girl from that private school that I've met is cruel. Ha. I cannot wait to rub in their face that yes, I'm homeschooled, and yes, I am actually a normal person, and no, I will not bow down to them. (And I'm a smidgen taller than them. Height is always an advantage.) Anyway, I'm am determined to give us a good name and wipe away this ridiculous stereotyping that somehow we are dorky, unsocial weirdos who wear baggy dresses and 70's glasses. Wish me luck, please. I'm so nervous.

 

Good luck, Mary Jo. My advice is to smile and be nice to everyone and pay attention to the teacher. Maybe you'll be the best driver of all! And might there be at least a few others in the class that are not private schoolers? Maybe even some other homeschoolers? Let us know how it goes.

Oh, I forgot to put that it's just in the morning.

Spammy says hang! That's probably about the third time he's ever said a word to me (which is saying a lot, since I post fairly often).

Funny story about driver's ed--I was chatting with one of the girls after class, and she was asking me questions about being homeschooled (what time do you get up, do you wear pajamas, etc). And right after that she said, "Well, you're not, like, anti-social. I would never have guessed you were homeschooled since you like to talk so much." :D :D :D Oh, and I found out there actually is a homeschooler in my class. You know why I didn't know?? Because she NEVER TALKS.

Me (smiling and trying to be nice)--"So are you still finishing that outline?"

She whose name remains unknown (looking up with a brief smile)--"Yeah."

End of conversation.
