Classes, Driving and Other Stuffs

So my Dad hired another car on Tuesday and I had to drive it back home. It was little weird driving on the wrong side of the road (or the right depending on how you look at it). But frankly, because the car was an automatic it wasn't very difficult to get used to. On Thursday and Friday I drove all the way to varsity without any trouble. The two most difficult things to remember are to look left first and, to a lesser extent, avoiding turning into the wrong lane. My mom had her first go it this morning when we went to pick up some groceries and she agrees that it is not particularly difficult. Oh, and I also find myself trying to change into second with my left hand when pulling off. At least my ability to drive manual cars had become somewhat automatic (excuse the pun).

As you have probably guessed by my comments above, I also started varsity this week. One of my classes was cancelled, because the lecturer was stuck in Nashville due to some heavy storms. My other class was quite long, but at least I only have to go in once a week for each class. It's also pretty far to drive to get to varsity.The traffic is generally always flowing, it just the distance and speed limits that drag the journey out. On the upside, there are plenty of lanes on the freeway (about 4 on average) and they are making it even wider.

Strangely enough, I am missing Oros. Yes, I know that sounds weird, but I used to drink litres of it every day. Carbonated drinks and fruit juices are more the norm here. Most of them come in zero calorie versions, but despite that fact, there is only so much super sweet, carbonated stuff I can drink. There are almost no mix-a-drink concentrates here. Koolade (spelling??) and Tang are pretty disgusting, either because they are too sweet or because they just taste nasty. We finally found some proper concentrated stuff today and we will try it out later.

Other than that there isn't much else for me to report. If I think of something else I'll add it, otherwise I am sure my mom will have more to say.

Signing off for now...
