LUC+10

Welp, things're looking up a bit. We got my parents' car back yesterday, and aside from a brief scare with it today (which was taken care of, but ate up most of the afternoon, meaning no DMV trip yet) it's been fine. My truck, on the other hand, is going to be about $1350 to fix (ouch). On the plus side, no more cars have died - yay!

It's also been kind of nice to spend some extra time with various of my friends here before I go. I spent yesterday evening with Victoria and Jill from the WC and their respective dates, and the evening before I spent with rathershady and courters28.

Anyway, my current schedule, assuming my truck is done this week:
tomorrow: get driver's license
Friday: practice suburban/highway driving
Saturday: practice highway driving alone by going to my baby brother's birthday party in the wilds of Independence
Sunday: go up to Iowa, me in the truck and my parents in a rental car
Monday: get settled in
Tuesday: my parents drive back

Sans truck, things'll go the exact same except that I'll just ride up with my parents (and concurrently will take much less stuff up with me) and then they'll have to bring it up in a couple of weeks or so. Here's hoping the truck is done this week though. *crosses fingers, toes and eyes*

Anyway, it's that time again...
