Enough with the acronyms!

All done with ESL! Took the test this morning, but I won't find out until next Tuesday or Wednesday if I passed. Cross your fingers for me!

The beginning of next week is all about finishing up my CDL. I have a permit test, then 6 written tests to take on Monday, followed by in-bus training Tuesday and Wednesday. The only (well, the main) thing I am worried about is parallel parking. I can barely (and by "barely" I mean "not really at all") parallel park my Jetta. I can't envision myself successfully paralleling that huge school bus. I do believe in miracles, though.

Totally off topic, I had forgotten how much time it takes to set up an iPod properly. Right now, I'm working on getting all of my music into my iTunes again (after the big crash of late '09). I really need to invest in an external hard drive. A new laptop (or desktop, even) is not anywhere in my near future, so I am going to have to make the best out of what I have right now. I don't want to bog down my laptop again with music ... she's an old girl, can't carry too much weight.

I plan to enjoy this weekend as much as possible. Tomorrow is Alex's birthday, so he's going to play a little golf during the day, then we have dinner at my mom and Norb's. Sunday will be the BBQ with his friends at our house. Should be lots of fun!
