New Experience

Jerking, speeding up then slowing down in haste, my body is thrown forward then back again along with my mom's. Eyes skimming the horizon, hands gripping tensely, palms and forehead sweating, my feet having methodic seizures of up, down. If only... I had done this before! If only... I didn't have a headache; If only... pedestrians and all the people in the world could just disappear for this moment in time! Oh, the joys of my first driving experience. Okay, I admit, even though I was nervous I had a great time with the small, blue, wrecked car and my mother guiding me, giving me tips and advice. I suppose that Dr. Ed. has made me exceptionally paranoid even when I'm not in a car.

Antelope Island

Today my family went to an island in the middle of the Salt Lake called Antelope Island. It is a natural preserve with antelope and... Buffalo!!! We got really close to a herd of them and they were so cool! Even though they were big and had large horns, they seemed pretty docile/gentle, from far away at least. Tricia also got a very cute and fluffy bison stuffed animal. Before sunset, we walked to the beach, which took a long time. It was interesting though, sometimes the sand was really soft, and other times it was covered in sharp, flat rocks.

Also, a comment on the music video of the week, "I'm So Lucky", I just happened to stumble across it (isn't surfing the net fun?=D ) while looking at other videos. I really like it because it is talking about positive self-talk and is very catchy. I don't recommend singing it out randomly though, because people might think you were full of yourself or just a wierdo. Haha, that doesn't mean I haven't already done it a few times. (=
