Not in Colin's case. For him, overachieving means doing more thinking and introspection than a room full of Psycholoanalysts Anonymous.

If you value your sanity, i advise you dont play it.

Then you must either have a lemonade stand, or you are a migrant worker building houses in Florida.

(The binary thing was funny and situation appropriate when Alex did it. It's now lost its funny.)

Exactly. Binary is no fun unless there is a reason.

And, I am dreading the beginning of soccer/school. I really souhld have run more. And I have a strained back.

I heard from someone that you don't play anymore...and no one runs lol...I never ran for soccer and that was for schenk. I am sure Luke and Mike aren't as strict about the running than Schenk...though idk.

Work (landscaping) has been tiring...its been hot and we are building a patio which involved everything that is heavy (limestone, versa-lock blocks, metal tampers) and I have a wedding tomorrow. Can't wait to start school even though that will make it difficult to make tournaments.

I haven't really done anything lately :/. Finished Driver's Ed today, and I take the permit test Monday.

I got a short-term job offer next week. I'm going to make $50 with about 2.5 hours of work (maximum, most likely less) at the city fair

That reminds me, I finished my Behind the Wheel training last week; that is probably literally the only productive thing I've done all summer.

Oh well. I get to drive a Mustang for my behind the wheel. Epic win.

Pick your reason!
-So I make a lot of mistakes
-It costs the same all year 'round, so I should use as much gas as I can (heater)
-It is a convertible

¹Atleast that is what my brother and a couple of my friends told me. I think they were just trying to mess with me, though...

Interesting side note about driver training:

My driving trainer in 1986 had a Saab 900 Turbo. He taught me the MNOP principle - if you have the Momentum, Nerve, Opportunity, and Position, then you have the Right of Way.

During one of our training sessions, we were stopped at a red light on a 30-mph straightaway in downtown Manchester, NH. A red Porsche 911 pulled up next to us at the red light. My instructor said, "Move your foot off the gas pedal and hold on tight to the steering wheel. I want to blow out this Porsche."

When the light turned green, he reached his foot over, stomped on the gas pedal, and roared down the road at 120 mph.

He had to pry my hands off the steering wheel at the next light when we went back to 30 mph.

When my mom was taking her drivers' test the first time, she thought she did fine, although she was nervous. At the end of the driving, the instructor asked her if she did anything differently than usual. After responding "no," he failed her. Why? She had her emergency brake on the entire time.

I just got back from the first night of a local film festival that I helped put together. Other than that I'm mostly transitioning from reading for fun to reading to get ahead for school, which I can't wait to go back to in a week.

Pfft, I took my motorcycle training class in the winter! We had fog, ice rain, freezing temps and eventually snow.

Our instructor told us if we passed the class then we could drive anywhere and under any conditions.

I'm enjoying the end of my summer and playing lots of volleyball (I'm actually going to a volleyball camp next week, which should be awesome). When I'm not playing volleyball, I'm working out or helping around the house. Good times

I've been thinking about doing that. What's that like?

Also, while we're talking about drivers' tests: my best friend failed his test because someone rear-ended him while he was at a stoplight. They were an illegal immigrant and didn't have any insurance.

Clarinetguy097 · « **Reply #45 on:** August 08, 2009, 05:05:29 PM »

Don't you hate it when you get rear-ended at a stoplight by an illegal immigrant who doesn't have insurance?

YourMathTeacher · « **Reply #46 on:** August 08, 2009, 05:08:04 PM »

That's why most insurance policies have an "Uninsured Motorists" clause. I would have still been covered.

Red Dragon Thorn · « **Reply #47 on:** August 08, 2009, 05:09:26 PM »

And how do you fail your test for that? Getting rear-ended is not something you can really control. In fact I think based upon how he handled it he should have been comended.

Clarinetguy097 · « **Reply #48 on:** August 08, 2009, 05:10:21 PM »

good point

YourMathTeacher · « **Reply #49 on:** August 08, 2009, 05:11:55 PM »

I also agree that the driving test should not have been affected by being rear-ended, unless there is more to the story (i.e. he slammed on the brakes as the light was changing red).
