So today started like any other day for me....
Uggggg I have to get up?
Yeah sleep is a good thing...Of course it helps if you do not fall asleep with your light on and wake up at 6am with it still on and your laying on top of the covers with two cats laying next to you. But when don't they do that?
Anyway, I had my last in-car today with my instructor. I thought I would be happy about that, but I really enjoyed driving with him. He knew when to keep quiet and let me drive and other times we would just start talking about all kinds of random things. Like today, we started talking about the fact that he was going to go to Winter Jam soon with his Youth Group. Then he asked me what church I went to. I had to tell him that I have not been to church in a couple of years because I do not agree with what they say I have to do. He wanted to know what they were and I told him that I was Pentecostal (aka Apostolic), and told him about the restrictions that my church placed on women when I was going.
He told me that he had family that started going to one and thought that they were "different". He also told me that he found it condescending that the male relative could go walking around in shorts, while the females had to wear long skirts. He thought that some of the things that this part of his Family did was condescending.
Let me tell you, I am so happy that I have found someone else who has witnessed this for himself and feels that it is condescending!
Now, I have been told by friends and family that still go to one of the split off Churches, (my original one split in three, I think) that they have been more open now about the way you dress, which I am happy about, but I do not know if I can ever feel comfortable in that religion again or not. Right now it really does not matter to much for me. I believe what I believe you believe what you believe and if we do not agree, lets drop the subject.
But anyway now that I went off and a rant about my religion, lets get back to that In-Car!!!!
I got to drive on the highway again and then went to Oberlin High school to work on Maneuverability!!! yay....... (insert sarcasm) I can do the right just fine, but tell me to back up on the left and I am screwed! I have yet to knock over a cone but I keep grazing them. So I had to do the left like 25 times until I got really good at it. But I still hope they tell me to go right when I take the test.
Oh and on the way home I got a treat!!!! He put in a CD!!!!!!! He never turned on the radio when we drove....it was a no no. Must be able to hear the instructor while he talked. But anyway the CD was a like a christian band and it was Christmas music. Anyway I really like the parts I got to hear and am now going to have to check them out. Not something that I would normally look at but I liked how they sounded. I believe the group was called Casting Crowns.
So after that I drove home and then said goodbye to the person who taught be all about how not to race a train. (little Drivers ed humor there) I think once I get my licence, I am going to have to crash one of his classes.
I spent the rest of the day taking a nap, and watching tv and then finally got around to blogging!!!
So I think this is where I will end this one for now. Ciao!
