So, I went to my driving school on Saturday. Naturally, the trains went haywire on me so I was 2 minutes late for my lesson. As I got in the car, my instructor and I greeted each other. He said, "Wow Grace! It's been a while since we've seen each other right? Like 2-3 months or something xD" I snickered and gave him a smile kindly stating that I haven't actually driven a car in a WHOLE year. There was this awkward silence as he glanced my way and try to make out who I really was. I smiled at him YET AGAIN and said "Sensei ^_^;;;; I took the exam on October of 2007 and got a negative 100 on the exam, remember?" He does a semi-knowingly, "oh" and told me to start up the car. xD

After driving a good while, he told me to drive on the streets of Flushing. When I say the streets, I mean the REALLY BUSY HECTIC ones where pedestrians walk even though the friggin sign CLEARLY tells them TO NOT WALK -__-;. Being the typical NYer, I started a string of curses (I've been having a short temper quite recently, although I'm not that surprised. My dad and my aunt have a really short fuse too :X) and was tempted to honk the horn. However, being the sweet person I was, I held back and quietly ran over the pedestrians in my mind while waiting for cars to actually move through the green light.

As we ended our driving lesson, my teacher told me "Wow Grace, your driving has improved A LOT. You seem a lot more confident now and less shaky behind the wheel. Even your parking has gotten a lot better :) Keep up the good work! Perhaps, we can sign you up for the exam soon. I smiled once again for my ego has probably gotten a very good hold of me by then. As I leaped into the sky for joy, I came to the realization once I PASS my car exam I can really start job hunting and there would probably be a lot more job opportunities for me that way as well. With that fact in mind, I completely went bonkers and passed out the moment I got home.

So, while I was at work today I talked to our co-manager, Joycie~ She was telling me all about her driving exam and said that she took the exam with the knowing fact she'd fail and somehow MAGICALLY passed! XD I guess, back then I was a decent driver, but since I was so nervous.... I completely forgot everything I practiced and learned. This by the way ALWAYS happens to me on exams >_< Hence, for me I need to always be 200% ready. That way, when I get nervous and forget 100% of the stuff I practiced for, the other 100% is waiting for me to tackle~

Hence, I shall be going for another driving round this weekend! Once I get my license, my sense of jealousy will finally resolve and I can finally flaunt my new found drivers license at all my friends who didn't get one yet :) Naturally, by then I'm sure I'll probably be well into my 30s >> Hopefully not though! =] Anyway, that's all for now! Till next time!

So, tomorrow is the American Baking Expo. I'm so nervous though :( I hope I don't mess up anything or say something so bold to piss off the customer >_< I'm having slight body insecurities too. Feel like I've gained a bit of weight this week from stress eating =___=

A co-worker of mine seems to have something against me and no longer smiles or talks to me. And everytime I need a piece of paper from her work pile, she gives me a cold glare and then tells me to photocopy the paper and then return it to her. I return the cold stare and say. "k" in the most apathetic way possible. :( However, when I do that, I feel so depressed. Why do people change like that? I never hurt her in any way. She always uses me knowing I'll say yes to whatever she does. The one time I said no to her was cuz she tried to make me file all the papers, that I didn't take out, back into the cabinets >>; Like wth??  *Sighs* Tomorrow, I have to bear a 3 hour drive with this woman and our product manager. Not sure how it's all going to work out, but I'm just praying to god that everything will be a okay =/

Gotta wake up at 5:45 AM. Not sure if i can sleep or not yet >_<;; So nervous for some reason. I am usually fairly good with everyone when it comes to meeting them face to face. However, I haven't really met any one new over the last year or so. It's going to be so awkward meeting all these wonderful bakers from around NYC/the world >_<; Must get some rest tonight! Adios all >_< wish me TONS of luck!!! See you guys when I get back :)
